Is it? I thought if you define it as signed, it falls under "For an
enumeration whose underlying type is fixed, the values of the
enumeration are the values of the underlying type." (c++11 7.2p7)
My standards-fu is weak though, so I could be wrong.
But I think you're right about the case when the underlying type is
not specified. Even if it happens to be 'int' on Windows, negative
values aren't allowed (unless there are negative enumerators). That
doesn't mean it won't happen though, and lots of code isn't UB-clean
