In the example below GCC seems to have problems with assignment 
of types in the initialize list, which were declared using Bit Fields:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

struct A 
{
  enum Type {P, U, S};

  A( const size_t size, const Type type ): mSize(size), mType(type)
  {
    cout << "type = " << type << endl;
    cout << "mType = " << mType << endl;
  }
  const size_t mSize :CHAR_BIT*sizeof(size_t) - 3 ;	
  Type mType       : 2;
}; 

int main()
{
  A testa(2,A::S); 
  return testa.mType;
}

The output is:

type = 2
mType = 0


Note that the output after compiling with -O1 is correct:
type = 2
mType = 2
, with -O2 or -O3 it is wrong.
