I wish gcc warned about bad enum usages, it would have caught this.
Wow, that surprised me that it lacked that, as I'm so used to it on Windows. But I mostly code in C++ there, so perhaps the conversion in C is legal?

Except that conversion from one enum type to another looks like it should be illegal based on that message.
I don't mind that much if enum -> int is allowed, but as that mail says int -> enum shouldn't be. But gcc gives no warnings about that either. The closest warning related to that I could find was:
-Wenum-compare (C++ and Objective-C++ only) Warn about a comparison between values of different enum types.
I think it was Sun Studio that warned about enum usage. Maybe I should try compiling Dovecot once again to see if it shows more bugs.
