Enums are implemented badly, but it's possible to
do even worse. This is from
linux /usr/include/sys/mount.h - can anyone explain the point of it to me?
enum
{
MS_RDONLY = 1, /* Mount read-only. */
#define MS_RDONLY MS_RDONLY
MS_NOSUID = 2, /* Ignore suid and sgid bits. */
#define MS_NOSUID MS_NOSUID
If you mean the #defining to itself, check out the discussion starting
at <https://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2019-November/019429.html>.
