Yes, exactly, that’s a great summary of the proposal! > El 25 mar 2016, a las 12:25, Haravikk escribió: > > >> On 25 Mar 2016, at 09:56, Carlos Rodríguez Domínguez via swift-evolution >> wrote: >> >> The key of this proposal is that

Re: [swift-evolution] Promote "primitive" types to enums in extensions

The key of this proposal is that the struct/class should come from outside any swift source code, that is, either imported by the compiler from C, or auto-generated from any external tool (i.e., a CoreData autogenerated class from a graphically specified data model). Of course, in well written

Re: [swift-evolution] Promote "primitive" types to enums in extensions

Why can’t you do this? No raw values required, except to initialize the enums. struct Card { enum Suit : Int { case Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs } enum Rank : Int { case Ace, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Jack, Queen, King } let suit : Suit let rank : Rank

Re: [swift-evolution] Promote "primitive" types to enums in extensions

I would rather have a syntax that mirrors the way Protocol does it. struct Card { suit:enum value:Int } or we could change it so this only excepts the enum itself unless you explicitly cast from a Int or another enum: struct Card { suit:CardSuit value:Int }
