[c++] (How) can I count the items in an enum?

Here is the best way to do it in compilation time. I have used the arg_var count answer from here.

#define PP_NARG(...) \
     PP_NARG_(__VA_ARGS__,PP_RSEQ_N())
#define PP_NARG_(...) \
         PP_ARG_N(__VA_ARGS__)

#define PP_ARG_N( \
          _1, _2, _3, _4, _5, _6, _7, _8, _9,_10, \
         _11,_12,_13,_14,_15,_16,_17,_18,_19,_20, \
         _21,_22,_23,_24,_25,_26,_27,_28,_29,_30, \
         _31,_32,_33,_34,_35,_36,_37,_38,_39,_40, \
         _41,_42,_43,_44,_45,_46,_47,_48,_49,_50, \
         _51,_52,_53,_54,_55,_56,_57,_58,_59,_60, \
         _61,_62,_63,N,...) N
#define PP_RSEQ_N() \
         63,62,61,60,                   \
         59,58,57,56,55,54,53,52,51,50, \
         49,48,47,46,45,44,43,42,41,40, \
         39,38,37,36,35,34,33,32,31,30, \
         29,28,27,26,25,24,23,22,21,20, \
         19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10, \
         9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0

#define TypedEnum(Name, ...)                                      \
struct Name {                                                     \
    enum {                                                        \
        __VA_ARGS__                                               \
    };                                                            \
    static const uint32_t Name##_MAX = PP_NARG(__VA_ARGS__);      \
}

#define Enum(Name, ...) TypedEnum(Name, __VA_ARGS__)

To declare an enum:

Enum(TestEnum, 
Enum_1= 0,
Enum_2= 1,
Enum_3= 2,
Enum_4= 4,
Enum_5= 8,
Enum_6= 16,
Enum_7= 32);

the max will be available here:

int array [TestEnum::TestEnum_MAX];
for(uint32_t fIdx = 0; fIdx < TestEnum::TestEnum_MAX; fIdx++)
{
     array [fIdx] = 0;
}
