/**
* Annotation to import a C enumeration to Java. In C, enumeration values are plain integer
* constants. In Java, enumeration values are object constants. Therefore, the Java enumeration
* value cannot just represent the C value, as it is done for {@link CConstant}. Instead, the Java
* enumeration with this annotation can define the following methods to convert between C and Java
* values:
*
* - An instance method annotated with {@link CEnumValue} to convert the Java object value to the
* C integer value.
*
- A static method annotated with {@link CEnumLookup} to retrieve the Java object value from a C
* integer value.
*
* The Java enumeration values can be annotated with {@link CEnumConstant} to specify the C
* enumeration value. This annotation is optional and only needed if an attribute has a non-default
* value.
*
* Note that C enumeration are merely a type-safe way to specify integer constants in C. Therefore,
* C enumeration values can be imported to Java as a regular {@link CConstant}; and {@link CEnum}
* can be used to import regular integer C constants as a Java enumeration.
*
* The annotated class, or an outer class that contains the class, must be annotated with
* {@link CContext}.
