you can still use const variables - gcc with optimizations treats them like
defines, but with type-safety.

If you can enumerate the values, you should, IMHO. Of course, there are
times to break this, but in general YES. An enum is a real type, and can be
used as such.
enum foo_cmd {
FOO_A,
FOO_B,
FOO_C,
};
int doo_foo_cmd(enum foo_cmd cmd);
