By default `MAGIC_ENUM_RANGE_MIN = -128`, `MAGIC_ENUM_RANGE_MAX = 128`. * If need another range for all enum types by default, redefine the macro `MAGIC_ENUM_RANGE_MIN` and `MAGIC_ENUM_RANGE_MAX`. ```cpp #define MAGIC_ENUM_RANGE_MIN 0 #define MAGIC_ENUM_RANGE_MAX 256 #include ``` * If need another range for specific enum type, add specialization `enum_range` for necessary enum type. ```cpp #include enum number { one = 100, two = 200, three = 300 }; namespace magic_enum { template <> struct enum_range { static constexpr int min = 100; static constexpr int max = 300; }; } ``` * `magic_enum` obtains the first defined value enums, and won't work if value are aliased. ```cpp enum ShapeKind { ConvexBegin = 0, Box = 0, // Won't work. Sphere = 1, ConvexEnd = 2, Donut = 2, // Won't work too. Banana = 3, COUNT = 4, }; // magic_enum::enum_cast("Box") -> std::nullopt // magic_enum::enum_name(ShapeKind::Box) -> "ConvexBegin" ``` Work around the issue: ```cpp enum ShapeKind { // Convex shapes, see ConvexBegin and ConvexEnd below. Box = 0, Sphere = 1, // Non-convex shapes. Donut = 2, Banana = 3, COUNT = Banana + 1, // Non-reflected aliases. ConvexBegin = Box, ConvexEnd = Sphere + 1, }; // magic_enum::enum_cast("Box") -> ShapeKind::Box // magic_enum::enum_name(ShapeKind::Box) -> "Box" // Non-reflected aliases. // magic_enum::enum_cast("ConvexBegin") -> std::nullopt // magic_enum::enum_name(ShapeKind::ConvexBegin) -> "Box" ```
