[Bug c++/16603] New: Incorrect enumerator type before enumeration's closing brace

["gccbugs at contacts dot eelis dot net" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

In 7.2 [dcl.enum] paragraph 4 the standard states

  "Prior to the closing brace, the type of each enumerator is the type of its
initializing value."

In the example below y is defined prior to the enum-specifier's closing brace,
where the type of x is the type of its initializing value, which in this case is
char. Therefore, I would think that the value of y should be sizeof(char).
However, when run the program displays the "hmm" message indicating that this is
not the case..

  char const c = 'q';

  enum
  {
    x = c,
    y = sizeof(x)
  };

  #include <iostream>

  int main ()
  {
    if (y != sizeof(char))
      std::cout << "hmm" << std::endl;
  }
