Hello,

It would be nice to have a refactoring option to convert an unscoped enumeration to a C++11 scoped enumeration, including all its referred enumerators.

As this is something that is done quite frequently in our code base, it would be a handy feature saving us from the tedious task to hunt down all referred enumerators and add their scope manually. A naive search-and-replace is too error prone.

enum Color { red, green, blue };
Color col = red;
switch(col)
{
    case red  : std::cout << "red\n";   break;
    case green: std::cout << "green\n"; break;
    case blue : std::cout << "blue\n";  break;
}

After refactoring becomes:
enum class Color { red, green, blue };
Color col = Color::red;
switch(col)
{
    case Color::red  : std::cout << "red\n";   break;
    case Color::green: std::cout << "green\n"; break;
    case Color::blue : std::cout << "blue\n";  break;
}

We are considering adding a refactoring to convert a normal enum to a strong enum class, which will also update all of the enum item instances like this:

case=93116

For now, if you know which functions the enum items are being used in, you may find VA's Smart Select commands helpful, since this will let you quickly and easily select the entire function body, so you can do a search and replace just on the selected text, keeping the scope limited and thus more accurate:
