enum_constant_same_name_as_enclosing

The name of the enum value can't be the same as the enum's name.

The analyzer produces this diagnostic when an enum value has the same name as the enum in which it's declared.

The following code produces this diagnostic because the enum value E has the same name as the enclosing enum E:

enum E {
  E
}

If the name of the enum is correct, then rename the constant:

enum E {
  e
}

If the name of the constant is correct, then rename the enum:

enum F {
  E
}
