[comp.lang.c] GNU "C" Enumerated types

benyukhi@motcid.UUCP (Ed Benyukhis) (03/23/91)

Can someone please tell me if GNU "C" has a generic storage
allocation strategy, as it applies to an enumeration types?
I.e., I'd like to know if the compiler treats ENUMS as an
8 bit quantity if the value is between -128 and +127, signed/unsigned
16 bit integers or 32 bit fullwords?

Thanks,
