It becomes a standard since C++11, and MSVC11 removed the warning.

Can you reword this slightly, perhaps "This behavior is allowed in C++11, and the warning has been removed in VS2012."

If you can upload a patch with that minor rewording, you can add the "checkin-needed" keyword to this bug and we'll get it landed. Thanks for the patch!

Doing this still causes build errors for people, no?

Comment 9

[Masatoshi Kimura [:emk]]

What build errors?

jgriffin had a build issue because of a gfxImageFormat:: prefix on mac on Jan 8, but the pastebin is dead already.

Obviously this patch will affect only MSVC.
A better fix would be making gfxImageFormat an enum class as dholbert said.
