Question about code style...

[Phlosioneer]

I'm going through the code right now, to try and understand it step-by-step.
I notice you use enums often, but don't typedef them. Is there a particular reason?

Hi!

I am typedef'ing them, but indirectly. For example, typedef uint8_t ast_an_t corresponds to the enum that is declared immediately before it. I am also checking at compile time via static_assert that all the values can fit into UINT8_MAX. An enumeration rarely needs more than 256 values in practice.

Otherwise, the compiler will default to an int and that might not be very economical when that type is laid out in a struct, since there may be thousands of them.
