Re: Representation clause for enumeratives

[Marin David Condic <mcondic.auntie.spam@acm.org>]

There is no law that says a compiler has to honor your representation
clause. It can legally recognize the rep clause and just simply reject
it. It is possible that your compiler has some built-in limitation that
prohibits using an unsigned, 32 bit representation for an enumeration.
Check with the compiler documentation or the compiler vendor.
