	* c.opt (-fstrict-enums): New.
	* doc/invoke.texi (C++ Dialect Options): Document -fstrict-enums.
gcc/cp:
	* decl.c (finish_enum): Use the TYPE_MIN_VALUE and TYPE_MAX_VALUE
	from the selected underlying type unless -fstrict-enums.  Set
	ENUM_UNDERLYING_TYPE to	have the restricted range.
	* cvt.c (type_promotes_to): Use ENUM_UNDERLYING_TYPE.
	* class.c (check_bitfield_decl): Likewise.

+@item -fstrict-enums
+@opindex fstrict-enums
+Allow the compiler to optimize using the assumption that a value of
+enumeration type can only be one of the values of the enumeration (as
+defined in the C++ standard; basically, a value which can be
+represented in the minimum number of bits needed to represent all the
+enumerators).  This assumption may not be valid if the program uses a
+cast to convert an arbitrary integer value to the enumeration type.

 @item -ftemplate-depth=@var{n}
 @opindex ftemplate-depth
 Set the maximum instantiation depth for template classes to @var{n}.
