<P>7.6.2.8 [<A href="https://wg21.link/expr.new">expr.new</A>]

paragraph 6 says:</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>The expression in a <I>direct-new-declarator</I> shall have integral
type (6.9.2 [<A href="https://wg21.link/basic.fundamental">basic.fundamental</A>]
) with a non-negative
value.</BLOCKQUOTE>
I assume the intent was to also allow enumeral types, as we do in
7.6.1.2 [<A href="https://wg21.link/expr.sub">expr.sub</A>]

?

<P>
<B>Proposed Resolution (10/99):</B>
Replace "integral type" by "integral or enumeration type" in
7.6.2.8 [<A href="https://wg21.link/expr.new#6">expr.new</A>] paragraph 6.
