__enum(enum_name)Instead of a plain number, a symbolic constant from the specified enum will be used. The enum can be a regular enum or a bitmask enum. For bitmask enums, a bitwise combination of symbolic constants will be printed. If the value to print cannot be represented using the specified enum, it will be displayed in red.
Example:
enum myenum { A=0, B=1, C=3 }; short var __enum(myenum);
If `var` is equal to 1, it will be represented as "B"Another example:
enum mybits __bitmask { INITED=1, STARTED=2, DONE=4 }; short var __enum(mybits);
If `var` is equal to 3, it will be represented as "INITED|STARTED"This annotation is useful if the enum size is not equal to the variable size. Otherwise using the enum type for the declaration is better:
myenum var; // is 4 bytes, not 2 as above
