-----------------------------------------

Clang provides support for C++11 enumerations with a fixed underlying type
within Objective-C. For example, one can write an enumeration type as:
within Objective-C and C `prior to C23 <https://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n3030.htm>`_. For example, one can write an enumeration type as:

We should probably update the wording here to mention __has_feature and language version behavior.

This is only a feature of C23, it's an extension in other modes.

How about something along the lines of:

#if __STDC_VERSION__ >= 202311L
static_assert(__has_feature(c_fixed_enum));
static_assert(__has_extension(c_fixed_enum)); // Matches behavior for c_alignas, etc
#else
_Static_assert(__has_extension(c_fixed_enum), "");
_Static_assert(!__has_feature(c_fixed_enum), "");
#endif

Updated. I chose to include
typedef enum : unsigned char { Pink, Black, Cyan } Color; // pre-c23-warning {{enumeration types with a fixed underlying type are a C23 extension}}
in enum.c, as I think we want to test for both the behavior of __has_feature() and __has_extension() as well as the actual definition of a typed enum. Please let me know if this is not a good idea!
