[Mono-devel-list] Enums in mono c api

[Rafael Teixeira]

In your example it will always be an int (32bit) because that is the
default basetype for all enums. To have it as a long, for instance,
you would need to explicitly define it with the proper basetype,
giving code like this:

enum FooEnum :  long { A = 0, B, C, D }

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/csref/html/vcreftheenumerationtypes.asp
for details.
