<h3 class="section">6.44 Incomplete <code>enum</code> Types</h3>

<p>You can define an <code>enum</code> tag without specifying its possible values. 
This results in an incomplete type, much like what you get if you write
<code>struct foo</code> without describing the elements.  A later declaration
which does specify the possible values completes the type.

 <p>You can't allocate variables or storage using the type while it is
incomplete.  However, you can work with pointers to that type.

 <p>This extension may not be very useful, but it makes the handling of
<code>enum</code> more consistent with the way <code>struct</code> and <code>union</code>
are handled.

 <p>This extension is not supported by GNU C++.
