Basically the problem comes from the fact that C does not define the size of an enum, so some compiler may use 8 bits to encode it, others may use 32bits, or worse say you add a new error value -1 it could change from 8 to 32 bits breaking ABI compatibility. I really prefer to use int for the virSchedParameterType in public structs and public functions parameters for this reason, it's far from ideal, but I prefer this than having weird ABI incompatibilities due to compiler variations :-)
