std::to_underlying(3)	      C++ Standard Libary	 std::to_underlying(3)

NAME
       std::to_underlying - std::to_underlying

Synopsis
	  Defined in header <utility>
	  template< class Enum >
	  constexpr   std::underlying_type_t<Enum>  to_underlying(  Enum  e  )
       (since C++23)
	  noexcept;

	  Converts an enumeration to its underlying type. Equivalent to	return
	  static_cast<std::underlying_type_t<Enum>>(e);.

Parameters
	  e - enumeration value	to convert

Return value
	  The integer value of the underlying type of Enum, converted from e.

Notes
	  std::to_underlying can be used to avoid converting an	enumeration to
       an integer type
	  other	than its underlying type.

Example
       // Run this code

	#include <cstdint>
	#include <iomanip>
	#include <iostream>
	#include <type_traits>
	#include <utility>

	enum class E1 :	char { e };
	static_assert(std::is_same_v<char,	     decltype(std::to_underly-
       ing(E1::e))>);

	enum struct E2 : long {	e };
	static_assert(std::is_same_v<long,	     decltype(std::to_underly-
       ing(E2::e))>);

	enum E3	: unsigned { e };
	static_assert(std::is_same_v<unsigned,	     decltype(std::to_underly-
       ing(e))>);

	int main()
	{
	    enum class ColorMask : std::uint32_t
	    {
		red  =	0xFF, green = (red << 8), blue = (green	<< 8), alpha =
       (blue <<	8)
	    };

	    std::cout << std::hex << std::uppercase << std::setfill('0')
		      << std::setw(8) << std::to_underlying(ColorMask::red) <<
       '\n'
		      << std::setw(8) <<  std::to_underlying(ColorMask::green)
       << '\n'
		      <<  std::setw(8)	<< std::to_underlying(ColorMask::blue)
       << '\n'
		      << std::setw(8) <<  std::to_underlying(ColorMask::alpha)
       << '\n';

	//   std::underlying_type_t<ColorMask> x = ColorMask::alpha; //	Error:
       no known	conversion
	    [[maybe_unused]]
	    std::underlying_type_t<ColorMask>  y  =  std::to_underlying(Color-
       Mask::alpha); //	OK
	}

Output:
	000000FF
	0000FF00
	00FF0000
	FF000000
