import org.graalvm.nativeimage.c.CContext;

Annotation to import a C enumeration to Java. In C, enumeration values are plain integer constants. In Java, enumeration values are object constants. Therefore, the Java enumeration value cannot just represent the C value, as it is done for CConstant. Instead, the Java enumeration with this annotation can define the following methods to convert between C and Java values:
  • An instance method annotated with CEnumValue to convert the Java object value to the C integer value.
  • A static method annotated with CEnumLookup to retrieve the Java object value from a C integer value.
The Java enumeration values can be annotated with CEnumConstant to specify the C enumeration value. This annotation is optional and only needed if an attribute has a non-default value.

Note that C enumeration are merely a type-safe way to specify integer constants in C. Therefore, C enumeration values can be imported to Java as a regular CConstant; and CEnum can be used to import regular integer C constants as a Java enumeration.

The annotated class, or an outer class that contains the class, must be annotated with CContext.

Since:19.0
