Add a Mantis item. Shalom It is tiresome that there seems to be no clean way to express the assertion that an enum variable's value is legitimate; testing the string result of .name() for non-zero length is ugly and obscure, and this is unduly verbose: assert ($cast(enum_var, integer'(enum_var))); It would be nice if the "inside" operator were extended to allow an enum type name to appear as its right-hand side. (It would also be rather nice if "foreach" could iterate an enum variable over the values of its type, and any variable over the values of an "inside"-style open_range_list. That's on my wish-list for any future PAR.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Israel (74) Limited This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
