Enum Bitfields

For the next meetup, Jon Kalb will be presenting on Enum Bitfields.

Abstract:

We’ll discuss the enhancements to enum that were introduced in C++11. These enhancements give us greater flexibility, readability, and safety. Unfortunately the trade off is that the new enums can’t be used as bitfields. At least not out-of-the box. We’ll discover how to make bitfield enabled enum types and along the way, we’ll have a gentle introduction to a very practical use for SFINAE.
