Enumeration members are converted to .enum elements in assembly. For example:
enum state { ACTIVE=0x10, SLEEPING=0x01, INTERRUPT=0x100, POWEROFF, LAST};
is converted to the following assembly code:
state .enum
ACTIVE .emember 16
SLEEPING .emember 1
NTERRUPT .emember 256
POWEROFF .emember 257
LAST .emember 258
.endenum
The members are used via the pseudo-scoping created by the .enum directive.
The usage is similar to that for accessing structure members, enum_name.member.
This pseudo-scoping is used to prevent enumeration member names from corrupting other symbols within the assembly environment.
