Beware of the Enum

owensd

So apparently enums are still a flaking beast (Xcode 7.0 GM).

enum Awesome {
    case HowAwesome(String)
    case KindaAwesome
    case NotReallyAwesome
}

let a = Awesome.HowAwesome("THIS AWESOME")
let b = Awesome.KindaAwesome
let c = Awesome.NotReallyAwesome

print(a)
print(b)
print(c)

Ok, this code seems fine, and the output is:

HowAwesome("THIS AWESOME")
KindaAwesome
NotReallyAwesome

Now, let's image a new case statement is desired…

enum Awesome {
    case HowAwesome(String)
    case KindaAwesome
    case NotReallyAwesome
    case WithOutMeYouWouldBeHappy(String)
}

let a = Awesome.HowAwesome("THIS AWESOME")
let b = Awesome.KindaAwesome
let c = Awesome.NotReallyAwesome

print(a)
print(b)
print(c)

Here's the output:

HowAwesome("THIS AWESOME")
KindaAwesome
KindaAwesome

Yeah, not really that awesome. rdar://22915709.
