enums again

[janney at unm-cvax.UUCP]

I appreciate that you can't do arithmetic with enums, and I've learned to live
with not using them in switch statements, but I really thought the following
program would be OK: 

enum foo { one, two, three };

set(now)
	enum foo *now;
{
	*now = one;
}

main()
{
	enum foo here;

	set(&here);
}

When I gave this to lint, I got

enums.c:
set, arg. 1 used inconsistently	enums.c(5)  ::  enums.c(13)

Can anyone explain this? (This is on 4.2bsd, if it matters).  The same
problem occurs with arrays of enums.

Flame:	lint and enums seem to be mutually exclusive, and if I'm forced
	to choose, I'll stay with lint.  Can you do anything with enums,
	other than assignment?
