Ah. In that case, enum is a pretty tortured way to declare it, though it
does have the practical advantages over define that have been mentioned
because the syntax is more rigorous.
I think the bit we're talking about is this:
Index: 2.6.12/fs/pnode.c
===================================================================
--- /dev/null
+++ 2.6.12/fs/pnode.c
@@ -0,0 +1,362 @@

+#define PNODE_MEMBER_VFS 0x01
+#define PNODE_SLAVE_VFS 0x02
I don't see how the following is tortured:
enum {
PNODE_MEMBER_VFS = 0x01,
PNODE_SLAVE_VFS = 0x02
};
In fact, I think it is more natural. An almost identical example even
appears in K&R.
