Hi, it seems that the following code isn’t supported: AnchorStyles.Bottom | AnchorStyles.Left I believe IronPython supports this (see EnumOps.cs). Is that syntax planned ? – Thibaut ---

IronRuby should support this. Enum values are ints anyway, so that behavior shouldn’t be hard to implement. * * * From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid] on behalf of Thibaut Barrère [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid] Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 2:39 AM To: ironruby-core Subject: [Ironruby-core] Flagged enums Hi, it seems that the following code isn’t supported: AnchorStyles.Bottom | AnchorStyles.Left I believe IronPython supports this (see EnumOps.cs).

Yes, we can do that.

In case it’s useful to someone else (until flagged enums combination is supported by IronRuby), I wrote some custom code to support that. I’m now allowing code like :anchor =\> [:bottom,:top] in Magic. ## Relevant code is here: ## [Support for flagged enums, ie :anchor =\> [:bottom,:right] · thbar/magic@e236e6f · GitHub](http://github.com/thbar/magic/commit/e236e6fa455ea783b42dd08513dea7d80b4705d5) > cheers, – Thibaut ---

Hi, a follow-up on flagged enums: > > AnchorStyles.Bottom | AnchorStyles.Left I seem to remember a commit that mentioned it was supported, but I’m not sure. Currently, either “||” or “|” fail on this example (| gives method undefined, || returns only Bottom). Has it been implemented ? Should I file a bug for this ? (or is the syntax different ?) cheers, –Thibaut ---

This works now: > > > AnchorStyles.bottom | AnchorStyles.left > > > =\> Bottom, Left Jim, there should be specs for this. Where should I add them? enum/mapping\_spec.rb or somewhere else?
