Compiler Warning (level 4) C4061

  • Article

enumerator 'identifier' in switch of enum 'enumeration' is not explicitly handled by a case label

The enumerate has no associated handler in a switch statement.

This warning is off by default. See Compiler Warnings That Are Off by Default for more information.

The following sample generates C4061:

// C4061.cpp
// compile with: /W4
#pragma warning(default : 4061)

enum E { a, b, c };
void func ( E e )
{
   switch(e)
   {
      case a:
      case b:
      default:
         break;
   }   // C4061 c' not handled
}

int main()
{
}
