How to avoid name conflicts for two enum values with the same name in C++?

Question

Enums in C++ have one major problem: You can\'t have one name in two different enums like this:

enum Browser
{
    None = 0,
    Chrome = 1,
    Firefox = 2
         


        

Answer 1

How about using scoped vs. unscoped enumeration? c++11 now offers scoped enumeration. An example would be:

enum class Browser :  {

};

enum class OS :  {

};

Access the enumerated types via an object of the Browser or an object of OS.
