Unknown Enumeration List Definition

closed account (zb0S216C)
In the sourceannotations header, I've come across this enumeration list definition which puzzles me:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
 
enum SA( AccessType )
{
    SA( NoAccess ) = 0,
    SA( Read ) = 1,
    SA( Write ) = 2,
    SA( ReadWrite ) = 3
};


Does anybody know what to make of this?

Could it be that SA is a macro?

It appears not. I used the Go To Definition in VCE 2010, and it took me to the above SA. However, there's more. Here it is:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
 
// This is before the code above.
enum SA( YesNoMaybe )
{
	// Choose values that we can detect as invalid if they are or'd together
	SA( No ) = 0x0fff0001,
	SA( Maybe ) = 0x0fff0010,
	SA( Yes ) = 0x0fff0100
};

typedef enum SA( YesNoMaybe ) SA( YesNoMaybe );

It is a macro - and if your sourceannotations header file is the same as mine - you will find it a
few lines earlier in the header file - mine looks like this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14

    SA( No ) = 0x0fff0001,
    SA( Maybe ) = 0x0fff0010,
    SA( Yes ) = 0x0fff0100
};

typedef enum SA( YesNoMaybe ) SA( YesNoMaybe );

enum SA( AccessType )
{
    SA( NoAccess ) = 0,
    SA( Read ) = 1,
    SA( Write ) = 2,
    SA( ReadWrite ) = 3
};

Hmmmm...I never noticed that macro. Then why did Go To Definition take me to the enumeration list, and not the macro?
