It looks as if gcc has a new warning -Wenum-compare. It objects if
constants from different enumerations are compared. This apparently
matches C++ rules (but not C rules). As I said, this may well be a
reasonable lint-style warning but it warns about perfectly reasonable
uses of C enums.
The code in Openswan that gets warned about is in the confread program
so I don't know much about it.
It appears that the only uses of KEY_STRINGS_MAX are in assert
statements. They could be rewritten to void the need for
KEY_STRINGS_MAX.
KEY_NUMERIC_MAX is used in asserts but it is also used to dimension a
couple of array types.
The proposed patch to add casts appears to be a reasonable fix. Yuck.
