             Bug #: 51242
           Summary: Unable to use strongly typed enums as bit fields
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: volodya@netfolder.ru

In case of use strongly typed enumS as bit fields of structS in C++0x mode,
compiler says "bit-field 'smth' with non-integral type".

Though, the standard says "A bit-ﬁeld shall have integral or enumeration type
(3.9.1)."
