How to use enums with jlimit()?

General JUCE discussion

I guess I don’t understand templates well enough to solve this relatively simple issue.

I want to limit some values based on an enum. I tried setting the enum’s underlying type to int but the compiler still complains with “No matching function call”.

enum GammaMode : int {
		kGammaBrighter = 0,
		kGammaBright,
		kGammaNormal,
		kGammaDark,
		kGammaDarker
	}; 

GammaMode currentGamma;

currentGamma = jlimit(kGammaBrighter, kGammaDarker, currentGamma);

This doesn’t compile either:

enum GammaMode {
		kGammaBrighter = 0,
		kGammaBright,
		kGammaNormal,
		kGammaDark,
		kGammaDarker
	}; 

int currentGamma;

currentGamma = jlimit(kGammaBrighter, kGammaDarker, currentGamma);

So, what’s the proper way to do this?

Cast them to int and the return to GammaMode

Thanks…so this works:

enum GammaMode {
		kGammaBrighter = 0,
		kGammaBright,
		kGammaNormal,
		kGammaDark,
		kGammaDarker
	};

int currentGamma;
currentGamma = jlimit((int)kGammaBrighter, (int)kGammaDarker, currentGamma);

I was actually trying to avoid the cast and “do the right thing”. I was hoping that

enum GammaMode: int {...

would essentially do that, but it doesn’t.

I was thinking…

enum GammaMode  {
		kGammaBrighter = 0,
		kGammaBright,
		kGammaNormal,
		kGammaDark,
		kGammaDarker
	} currentGamma;

currentGamma = (GammaMode) jlimit ((int) kGammaBrighter, (int) kGammaDarker, (int) currentGamma);

Hmm, don’t think you need any casting at all…

enum GammaMode 
	{
	   kGammaBrighter = 0,
	   kGammaBright,
	   kGammaNormal,
	   kGammaDark,
	   kGammaDarker
	} currentGamma;

	currentGamma = jlimit(kGammaBrighter, kGammaDarker, currentGamma);
