>Description:
In C++, according to Stroustrup, enums can grow to sizeof(int).  On this machine, sizeof(int)==4, but I when exploring the maximum size enum value g++ would honour, I got an ICE.

The following code (put it in a file called enum.C) COMPILES with given command line and runs

$ cat enum.C <<EOF
enum test {
    acceptable = 0x7fffffffffffffff,
    unacceptable = 0xffffffffffffffff
};

int main() {
    test
        t = acceptable,
        u = unacceptable;
    return 0;
}
EOF
$ g++ -save-temps enum.C -o enum
$ ./enum
>How-To-Repeat:

Replace line in enum.C that says:

    acceptable = 0x7fffffffffffffff,

with the following line:

    acceptable = -1,

and attempt to compile with command line as given.
>Fix:
Don't use ridiculous enum values?  Is that sufficient, or should the compiler be able to pick this up?
