Subject: 'Size hack for enumerated types

Message-ID: <lp9nc6$no3$1@speranza.aioe.org> (raw)
I have written the following code:
type Flag_Type is (Libxml_Error_Save,
Libxml_Structured_Error_Save,
URI_Interning,
WWW_Skip_Init_Finish);
for Flag_Type'Size use Interfaces.C.int'Size; -- hack
for Flag_Type use (Libxml_Error_Save => 1,
Libxml_Structured_Error_Save => 2,
URI_Interning => 3,
WWW_Skip_Init_Finish => 4);
The code above is intended to be able to pass flag variables into certain C
functions (accepting enum types).
But it seems that the above code has the drawback of storing in 4 or 8 bytes
instead of one byte.
What is a better way to do this?
