在我看来，到目前为止没有一个答案是理想的。理想的解决方案是:

支持==，!=，=，&，&=，|，|=和~运算符 意义(即a和b) 类型安全，即不允许分配非枚举值，如字面量或整数类型(枚举值的按位组合除外)，或允许将枚举变量分配给整数类型 允许使用if (a & b)… 不需要邪恶的宏，实现特定的功能或其他hack

到目前为止，大多数解都停留在第2点或第3点上。WebDancer在我看来是封闭的，但在第3点失败了，需要在每个枚举中重复。

我提出的解决方案是WebDancer的一个广义版本，也解决了第3点:

#include <cstdint>
#include <type_traits>

template<typename T, typename = typename std::enable_if<std::is_enum<T>::value, T>::type>
class auto_bool
{
    T val_;
public:
    constexpr auto_bool(T val) : val_(val) {}
    constexpr operator T() const { return val_; }
    constexpr explicit operator bool() const
    {
        return static_cast<std::underlying_type_t<T>>(val_) != 0;
    }
};

template <typename T, typename = typename std::enable_if<std::is_enum<T>::value, T>::type>
constexpr auto_bool<T> operator&(T lhs, T rhs)
{
    return static_cast<T>(
        static_cast<typename std::underlying_type<T>::type>(lhs) &
        static_cast<typename std::underlying_type<T>::type>(rhs));
}

template <typename T, typename = typename std::enable_if<std::is_enum<T>::value, T>::type>
constexpr T operator|(T lhs, T rhs)
{
    return static_cast<T>(
        static_cast<typename std::underlying_type<T>::type>(lhs) |
        static_cast<typename std::underlying_type<T>::type>(rhs));
}

enum class AnimalFlags : uint8_t 
{
    HasClaws = 1,
    CanFly = 2,
    EatsFish = 4,
    Endangered = 8
};

enum class PlantFlags : uint8_t
{
    HasLeaves = 1,
    HasFlowers = 2,
    HasFruit = 4,
    HasThorns = 8
};

int main()
{
    AnimalFlags seahawk = AnimalFlags::CanFly;        // Compiles, as expected
    AnimalFlags lion = AnimalFlags::HasClaws;         // Compiles, as expected
    PlantFlags rose = PlantFlags::HasFlowers;         // Compiles, as expected
//  rose = 1;                                         // Won't compile, as expected
    if (seahawk != lion) {}                           // Compiles, as expected
//  if (seahawk == rose) {}                           // Won't compile, as expected
//  seahawk = PlantFlags::HasThorns;                  // Won't compile, as expected
    seahawk = seahawk | AnimalFlags::EatsFish;        // Compiles, as expected
    lion = AnimalFlags::HasClaws |                    // Compiles, as expected
           AnimalFlags::Endangered;
//  int eagle = AnimalFlags::CanFly |                 // Won't compile, as expected
//              AnimalFlags::HasClaws;
//  int has_claws = seahawk & AnimalFlags::CanFly;    // Won't compile, as expected
    if (seahawk & AnimalFlags::CanFly) {}             // Compiles, as expected
    seahawk = seahawk & AnimalFlags::CanFly;          // Compiles, as expected

    return 0;
}

This creates overloads of the necessary operators but uses SFINAE to limit them to enumerated types. Note that in the interests of brevity I haven't defined all of the operators but the only one that is any different is the &. The operators are currently global (i.e. apply to all enumerated types) but this could be reduced either by placing the overloads in a namespace (what I do), or by adding additional SFINAE conditions (perhaps using particular underlying types, or specially created type aliases). The underlying_type_t is a C++14 feature but it seems to be well supported and is easy to emulate for C++11 with a simple template<typename T> using underlying_type_t = underlying_type<T>::type;

编辑:我纳入了弗拉基米尔·阿菲内洛建议的变化。用GCC 10、CLANG 13和Visual Studio 2022测试。

这里有一个位掩码的选项，如果你实际上不需要使用单个枚举值(例如，你不需要关闭它们)…如果你不担心保持二进制兼容性，即:你不关心你的位在哪里…你可能就是这样。此外，您最好不要过于关注范围和访问控制。嗯，枚举对于位域有一些不错的属性…不知道是否有人尝试过:)

struct AnimalProperties
{
    bool HasClaws : 1;
    bool CanFly : 1;
    bool EatsFish : 1;
    bool Endangered : 1;
};

union AnimalDescription
{
    AnimalProperties Properties;
    int Flags;
};

void TestUnionFlags()
{
    AnimalDescription propertiesA;
    propertiesA.Properties.CanFly = true;

    AnimalDescription propertiesB = propertiesA;
    propertiesB.Properties.EatsFish = true;

    if( propertiesA.Flags == propertiesB.Flags )
    {
        cout << "Life is terrible :(";
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "Life is great!";
    }

    AnimalDescription propertiesC = propertiesA;
    if( propertiesA.Flags == propertiesC.Flags )
    {
        cout << "Life is great!";
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "Life is terrible :(";
    }
}

我们可以看到生命是伟大的，我们有离散的值，我们有一个漂亮的int到&和|到我们的心内容，它仍然有它的位的含义的上下文。一切都是一致的和可预测的……对我来说……只要我继续使用微软的vc++编译器w/ Update 3在Win10 x64上，不碰我的编译器标志:)

Even though everything is great... we have some context as to the meaning of flags now, since its in a union w/ the bitfield in the terrible real world where your program may be be responsible for more than a single discrete task you could still accidentally (quite easily) smash two flags fields of different unions together (say, AnimalProperties and ObjectProperties, since they're both ints), mixing up all yours bits, which is a horrible bug to trace down... and how I know many people on this post don't work with bitmasks very often, since building them is easy and maintaining them is hard.

class AnimalDefinition {
public:
    static AnimalDefinition *GetAnimalDefinition( AnimalFlags flags );   //A little too obvious for my taste... NEXT!
    static AnimalDefinition *GetAnimalDefinition( AnimalProperties properties );   //Oh I see how to use this! BORING, NEXT!
    static AnimalDefinition *GetAnimalDefinition( int flags ); //hmm, wish I could see how to construct a valid "flags" int without CrossFingers+Ctrl+Shift+F("Animal*"). Maybe just hard-code 16 or something?

    AnimalFlags animalFlags;  //Well this is *way* too hard to break unintentionally, screw this!
    int flags; //PERFECT! Nothing will ever go wrong here... 
    //wait, what values are used for this particular flags field? Is this AnimalFlags or ObjectFlags? Or is it RuntimePlatformFlags? Does it matter? Where's the documentation? 
    //Well luckily anyone in the code base and get confused and destroy the whole program! At least I don't need to static_cast anymore, phew!

    private:
    AnimalDescription m_description; //Oh I know what this is. All of the mystery and excitement of life has been stolen away :(
}

因此，然后你让你的联合声明私有，以防止直接访问“Flags”，并必须添加getter /setter和操作符重载，然后为所有这些做一个宏，你基本上回到你开始的地方，当你试图用Enum来做这件事。

不幸的是，如果你想要你的代码是可移植的，我不认为有任何方法可以A)保证位布局或B)在编译时确定位布局(这样你就可以跟踪它，至少纠正跨版本/平台等的变化) 带位字段的结构中的偏移量

在运行时，你可以玩一些技巧，设置字段和XORing标志，看看哪些位发生了变化，听起来对我来说很糟糕，尽管有一个100%一致的，平台独立的，完全确定的解决方案，即:ENUM。

TL;DR: Don't listen to the haters. C++ is not English. Just because the literal definition of an abbreviated keyword inherited from C might not fit your usage doesn't mean you shouldn't use it when the C and C++ definition of the keyword absolutely includes your use case. You can also use structs to model things other than structures, and classes for things other than school and social caste. You may use float for values which are grounded. You may use char for variables which are neither un-burnt nor a person in a novel, play, or movie. Any programmer who goes to the dictionary to determine the meaning of a keyword before the language spec is a... well I'll hold my tongue there.

如果你确实希望你的代码模仿口语，你最好使用Objective-C编写，顺便说一句，它也大量使用枚举作为位域。

“正确”的方法是为枚举定义位操作符，如下所示:

enum AnimalFlags
{
    HasClaws   = 1,
    CanFly     = 2,
    EatsFish   = 4,
    Endangered = 8
};

inline AnimalFlags operator|(AnimalFlags a, AnimalFlags b)
{
    return static_cast<AnimalFlags>(static_cast<int>(a) | static_cast<int>(b));
}

等等，其余的位操作符。如果枚举范围超过int range，则根据需要修改。

下面是我的解决方案，不需要任何一堆重载或强制转换:

namespace EFoobar
{
    enum
    {
        FB_A    = 0x1,
        FB_B    = 0x2,
        FB_C    = 0x4,
    };
    typedef long Flags;
}

void Foobar(EFoobar::Flags flags)
{
    if (flags & EFoobar::FB_A)
        // do sth
        ;
    if (flags & EFoobar::FB_B)
        // do sth
        ;
}

void ExampleUsage()
{
    Foobar(EFoobar::FB_A | EFoobar::FB_B);
    EFoobar::Flags otherflags = 0;
    otherflags|= EFoobar::FB_B;
    otherflags&= ~EFoobar::FB_B;
    Foobar(otherflags);
}

我认为这是可以的，因为我们无论如何都会识别(非强类型)枚举和整数。

只是作为一个(较长的)边注，如果你

要使用强类型枚举和 不需要重一点摆弄你的旗帜 性能不是问题

我会想到这个:

#include <set>

enum class EFoobarFlags
{
    FB_A = 1,
    FB_B,
    FB_C,
};

void Foobar(const std::set<EFoobarFlags>& flags)
{
    if (flags.find(EFoobarFlags::FB_A) != flags.end())
        // do sth
        ;
    if (flags.find(EFoobarFlags::FB_B) != flags.end())
        // do sth
        ;
}

void ExampleUsage()
{
    Foobar({EFoobarFlags::FB_A, EFoobarFlags::FB_B});
    std::set<EFoobarFlags> otherflags{};
    otherflags.insert(EFoobarFlags::FB_B);
    otherflags.erase(EFoobarFlags::FB_B);
    Foobar(otherflags);
}

使用c++ 11初始化列表和枚举类。

我更喜欢使用magic_enum，因为它有助于自动将字符串转换为枚举，反之亦然。 它是一个仅头文件的库，用c++ 17标准编写。

Magic_enum已经有了枚举位操作符的模板函数。 见文档。

用法:

#include <magic_enum.hpp>

enum Flag { ... };

Flag flag{};
Flag value{};

using namespace magic_enum::bitwise_operators;
flag |= value;

c++ 20类型安全Enum操作符

博士TL;

template<typename T>
requires std::is_enum_v<T> and
         requires (std::underlying_type_t<T> x) {
             { x | x } -> std::same_as<std::underlying_type_t<T>>;
             T(x);
         }
T operator|(T left, T right)
{
    using U = std::underlying_type_t<T>;
    return T( U(left) | U(right) );
}

template<typename T>
requires std::is_enum_v<T> and
         requires (std::underlying_type_t<T> x) {
             { x | x } -> std::same_as<std::underlying_type_t<T>>;
             T(x);
         }
T operator&(T left, T right)
{
    using U = std::underlying_type_t<T>;
    return T( U(left) & U(right) );
}

template<typename T>
requires std::is_enum_v<T> and requires (T x) { { x | x } -> std::same_as<T>; }
T & operator|=(T &left, T right)
{
    return left = left | right;
}

template<typename T>
requires std::is_enum_v<T> and requires (T x) { { x & x } -> std::same_as<T>; }
T & operator&=(T &left, T right)
{
    return left = left & right;
}

基本原理

使用类型特征std::is_enum，我们可以测试一些类型T是否为枚举类型。 这包括无作用域和有作用域的枚举(即enum和enum类)。 使用类型trait std::underlying_type，我们可以得到枚举的底层类型。 使用c++ 20的概念和约束，很容易为按位操作提供重载。

有作用域和无作用域

如果操作只应该重载有作用域或无作用域的枚举，std::is_scoped_enum可以用于相应地扩展模板约束。

c++ 23

在c++ 23中，我们使用std::to_underlying来更容易地将枚举值转换为其底层类型。

移动语义和完善转发

如果你遇到了一种奇怪的情况，即你的底层类型对于copy和move有不同的语义，或者它不提供复制c'tor，那么你应该使用std::forward对操作数进行完美的转发。
