A Slice enumeration maps to the corresponding enumeration in C++. For example:

{zcode:slice}
enum Fruit { Apple, Pear, Orange };
{zcode}

Not surprisingly, the generated C++ definition is identical:

{zcode:cpp}
enum Fruit { Apple, Pear, Orange };
{zcode}

Suppose we modify the Slice definition to include a custom enumerator value:

{zcode:slice}
enum Fruit { Apple, Pear = 3, Orange };
{zcode}

The generated C++ definition now includes an explicit initializer for every enumerator:

{zcode:cpp}
enum Fruit { Apple = 0, Pear = 3, Orange = 4 };
{zcode}
