replace the enums with objects that report themselves to a registry.


I have done it in the past using a template ...

templace <typename base>
class ExposedEnum : public base
{
	public:
	int	enum_val;	
	ExposedEnum( int number )
	  : enum_val( number )
	{
		ExposedEnumRegister<base>::Register( *this );
	}

	ExposedEnum( int number )
	  : enum_val( ExposedEnumRegister<base>::GetNextNumber() )
	{
		ExposedEnumRegister<base>::Register( *this );
	}



// some more stuff ...

	operator int () const
	{
		return enum_val;
	}

	explicit ExposedEnum( const ExposedEnum & foo );
};


template <typename base>
class ExposedEnumRegister
{

	static int GetNextNumber ....

	static void Register ....

	static int Count ....

}


Now you can forward declare them...

extern ExposedEnum< great > five;

extern ExposedEnum< great > ten;

extern ExposedEnum< great > fifteen;




In a cpp file you can instantiate them.

ExposedEnum< great > five( 5 );

ExposedEnum< great > ten( 10 );

ExposedEnum< great > fifteen;


Now, if you want to know how many you have :

ExposedEnumRegister< great >::Count();



Disclaimer - it's an outline only, yes it's incomplete.
