Was wondering if it's possible to mark an enum as being an implicit-int (allowing implicit conversions to int) without having to make the first character lowercase. Someone mentioned that in regular pawn you could do something like this:

PHP Code:

enum _:EnumName 


But the SourcePawn compiler doesn't like that. Gives error "cannot tag an enum as implicit-int". The workaround I'm doing is naming it with a lowercase first character but it sort of triggers me since everything else in the file is named differently. I find it quite dumb that the behaviour of an enum would depend on it's name.

You can append a colon after the name which will disable all of the special Pawn enum magic, but the correct thing to do is really to make it lowercase.

Tried the appending colon thing and doesn't seem to work, it becomes a part of the name then when I try to use it it gives various other errors. Is this what you mean by that?

PHP Code:

enum EnumName: 


Putting a space between the EnumName and the colon also fails to compile.

I know making it lowercase is correct way to do it but I'd really rather not. It makes the enum name look really out of place with my other code. The way I do naming is types start with capital letters and regular variables start with lowercase.

Yes that is it, but when doing that the name doesn’t exist as a symbol any more, the enum becomes just a bunch of integer constants.

I see, but still gives the tag mismatch error when trying to use it with the SetNativeArray function and also doesn't let me use the strings in the enum array ("cannot coerce any[] to char[]; storage classes differ") so doesn't really fix my use case.

I'll just bite the bullet and leave it as lowercase, thanks for the help.
