scope of enum

[wenmang]

Hi,
I encountered some legacy codes with multiple definitions for some
symbols in term of enum(global naemspace pollution). How can I enforce
the scope of an enum? e.g.,
enum MyEnum
{
OK
};
enum YourEnum
{
OK=1
};

If I only want my enum value for symbol OK in MyEnum scope, how can I
do it?

Wrap it in a namespace or a struct, and refer to it using that name:

struct MyEnum {
enum type { OK };
};

...
MyEnum::type var = MyEnum::OK;
