How to use C++11 enum class for flags

You need to write your own overloaded operator| (and presumably operator& etc.).

Flags operator|(Flags lhs, Flags rhs) 
{
    return static_cast<Flags>(static_cast<char>(lhs) | static_cast<char>(rhs));
}

Conversion of an integer to an enumeration type (scoped or not) is well-defined as long as the value is within the range of enumeration values (and UB otherwise; [expr.static.cast]/p10). For enums with fixed underlying types (this includes all scoped enums; [dcl.enum]/p5), the range of enumeration values is the same as the range of values of the underlying type ([dcl.enum]/p8). The rules are trickier if the underlying type is not fixed - so don't do it :)

It's maybe better to make use of std::underlying_type instead of hard-coding char type.

Flags operator|(Flags lhs, Flags rhs) {
    return static_cast<Flags>(
        static_cast<std::underlying_type<Flags>::type>(lhs) |
        static_cast<std::underlying_type<Flags>::type>(rhs)
    );
}

Now, you can change the underlying type of your enumeration without needing to update that type in every bitwise operator overload.
