How to make a enum with values over max int allowed?

Question

I'm making a enum in c++ to make a finite state machine using binary flags. It looks like:

enum VStates
{
    NEUTRAL         =   0x00000000,     // 000000
    //  Physical Status
    DRY             =   0x00000001,     // 000001
    WET             =   0x00000002,     // 000010
    HOT             =   0x00000004,     // 000100
    COLD            =   0x00000008,     // 001000
    BURNED          =   0x00000016,     // etc..
    FROZEN          =   0x00000032,
    EROS            =   0x00000064,     // 
    THANATOS        =   0x00000128,     // 
    SLEEP           =   0x00000256,
    STUNNED         =   0x00000512,
    PARALYZED       =   0x00001024,
    POISONED        =   0x00002048,     //
    BLIND           =   0x00004096,
    SOFT            =   0x00008192,     // Flexible
    TOUGH           =   0x00016384,     // Resistent
    MAGNETIZED      =   0x00032768,
    POSSEDERUNT     =   0x00131072,     //
    // Mental Status
    ANGRY           =   0x00262144,
    DRUGGED         =   0x00524288, // Drugs Meaning
    HORNY           =   0x01048576, // Sexual Meaning
    // Material Status
    METAL           =   0x02097152,
    WOOD            =   0x04194304,
    GLASS           =   0x08388608,
    AIR             =   0x16777216,
    EARTH           =   0x33554432,
    DUST            =   0x67108864,
    LIGHT           =   0x134217728,
    SHADOW          =   0x268435456,
    WATER           =   0x536870912,
    // Total Status
    PROTECTED       =   0x1073741824,
    INVULNERABLE    =   0x2147483648

};

Some status are incompatibles, so I use Bitwise operators to manage them. Now, my compiler say:

warning: integer constant is too large for 'long' type

Is this the correct way to declare this enum? I like avoid warning so, How can I resolve this problem?

Answer 1

In C++11, you can specify the underlying type of the enum.

#include <cstdint>

enum VStates : uint64_t {
    // Values
}

On a side note, I recommend against calculating out all of those powers of two. You made an error in your calculations by writing a hex constant but giving it the digits of a base-10 numeral. However, rather than recalculating all of those, I recommend something like:

#include <cstdint>

enum VStates : uint64_t {
    NEUTRAL = 0ULL,
    DRY = 1ULL << 0,
    WET = 1ULL << 1,
    HOT = 1ULL << 2,
    COLD = 1ULL << 3,
    // etc.
}

Then you are sure not to make a mistake. The ULL suffix ensures that the literal is accepted as at least a 64-bit wide integer.
