printing enumerated values

[Shaun Jackman <shaunj@gray-interfaces.com>]

I have an enum that looks something like...

enum {
  A = 512,
  B = 513
};

It's not really an enumerated list, more like constant integers. I don't want
to use defines though because I can't work with them in GDB. And, 'const int's
have performance issues in -O0 (where I'll be staying until we leave the
touchy development phase).

In GDB I get this...
(gdb) p A
$1 = 0
(gdb) p B
$2 = 1
(gdb)

This should be 512, and 513 respectively (clearly).

Cheers,
Shaun

Clearly, this is a GCC problem.
At least with all the versions of GCC on my computer, unless the enum
has a real name (ie isn't anonymous), it doesn't generate the debug
info properly for it.
