Well yes, I was talking about this particular case.

They do (in the underlying type).

But it can be anything the compiler decides as long as it can fit all
the enumeration constant and is no larger than int. And since in this
case there is no negative constant (begin at 0 and go up), the
compiler is free to decide to use "unsigned int" as underlying type.
And gcc does that, yielding a bug in this case.

See the test case posted in IRC yesterday:

If you compile with -Wextra, you will see the issue.
