Specifying the underlying enum type in g++

[Jean-Claude Gervais]

Hello,

I am using gcc 4.1.2 and 4.3.2, looking for a way to specify the
underlying type in a typedef enum declaration like so:

typedef enum : unsigned char { first_tag, second_tag, third_tag }
my_enum_type;

The preceding statement compiles with visualc++ but not with g++

Is there a way?

Thanks
J
