assembly - How does Enum allocate Memory on C?

Question

I'm trying to work with C and Assembly (intelx8086) language.

I'm also using one class that was implemented by a friend of mine. It has a

typedef enum data_10 {a=0,b=7,c=10,} data_10_type;

I want to work with this class bitwise (AKA construct it/destroy it on Assembly). My question is, how much memory does "enum" take?

Answer 1

Although it may vary from compiler to compiler, enum typically takes the same size as an int. To be sure, though, you can always use sizeof( data_10_type );
