Is there a way to find the cardinality (size) of an enum in C++? -
Can someone write a function that gives the number of elements in an enum? For example, I have defined:
enum E {x, y, z};
Then F (E) returns 3.
no
If this happens, you will not see so much code like this:
enum E {VALUE_BLAH, VALUE_OTHERBLAH, ... VALUE_FINALBLAH, VALUE_COUNT}
Note that this code is also an indication for the solution (bad) - if you add the last "guard" element, and clearly do not tell the value of enum areas, the last "COUNT "Element will be the value you are looking for - this is because the enum calculation is zero-based:
enum B {ONE, // in value = 0 two
