RE: [sv-bc] Uninitialized enums?

Cliff,

This was Mantis 216.

Table 6-1 now says that the default value for an enum variable is the
default initial value of the base type.

This is a change from SV 3.1a, which specified that it would be the
first value in the enum list.

So the answers to your questions are 0 and X.

If the tools you see are giving the first value in the list, they are
probably still working by SV 3.1a.

Also see Mantis 957.
