[boost] HP-UX aCC or boost problem?

While trying to port Boost.Python to HP-UX using the native "aCC" compiler I
ran into this issue:

void foo()
{
  enum udt_builtin_mixture_enum
  {
     builtin_to_builtin
    ,builtin_to_udt
    ,udt_to_builtin
    ,udt_to_udt
  } ;
  udt_builtin_mixture_enum value1 = builtin_to_builtin; // this works
  udt_builtin_mixture_enum value2 = 0;                  // this doesn't
}

% aCC -AA -c enum_init.cpp     
"enum_init.cpp", line 11: error #2144: a value of type "int" cannot be used to
          initialize an entity of type "udt_builtin_mixture_enum"
    udt_builtin_mixture_enum value2 = 0;
                                      ^

1 error detected in the compilation of "enum_init.cpp".

Is the compiler correct in rejecting the initialization with 0?

Thanks!

Cheers,
        Ralf

P.S.: aCC: HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.06.01 [Jan 05 2005]
