Sorry to get all pedantic but the enum type it's self is an integer type so the
size and sign are not defined in ANSI C. I recently got the UEFI spec updated
to point out the enum can be either INT32 or UINT32 when passed as an argument.
The behavior between compilers on sign is different, luckily it seems that int
(32-bits) is the common size. It turns out Visual Studio will not support
values > 32-bit and gcc/clang will. From talking to our compiler guys the
integer promotion rules of C make an INT32 or UINT32 interchangeable when
passed as an argument.
So from an UEFI spec point of view it is not safe to assume the sign of a
enumerated type when making comparisons.
In retrospect we should not have defined arguments to functions in the UEFI
spec as a typedef of type enum, and we should have just made it a UINT32 (or
INT32). So the current language in UEFI is not pedantic ANSI C, but it works
for all the compilers we know about today. Or if you think about us putting
restrictions on enum is part of the ABI defined by UEFI, just like the calling
convention.
