<h3 class="section">G.4 Enum Target Types</h3>
<p><a name="index-target-descriptions_002c-enum-types-3656"></a>
Enum target types are useful in &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">struct</span></samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">flags</span></samp>&rsquo;
register descriptions. See <a href="Target-Description-Format.html#Target-Description-Format">Target Description Format</a>.
<p>Enum types have a name, size and a list of name/value pairs.
<pre class="smallexample"> &lt;enum id="<var>id</var>" size="<var>size</var>"&gt;
&lt;evalue name="<var>name</var>" value="<var>value</var>"/&gt;
...
&lt;/enum&gt;
</pre>
<p>Enums must be defined before they are used.
<pre class="smallexample"> &lt;enum id="levels_type" size="4"&gt;
&lt;evalue name="low" value="0"/&gt;
&lt;evalue name="high" value="1"/&gt;
&lt;/enum&gt;
&lt;flags id="flags_type" size="4"&gt;
&lt;field name="X" start="0"/&gt;
&lt;field name="LEVEL" start="1" end="1" type="levels_type"/&gt;
&lt;/flags&gt;
&lt;reg name="flags" bitsize="32" type="flags_type"/&gt;
</pre>
<p>Given that description, a value of 3 for the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">flags</span></samp>&rsquo; register
would be printed as:
<pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) info register flags
flags 0x3 [ X LEVEL=high ]
</pre>
