string representation of enum values [duplicate]

Answer 1

One way is to do like this:

enum drop_options_e
{
    drop_ssm = 0,
    drop_snm ,
    drop_ssb  ,
    LAST_ENTRY   /* Should be last entry */
};

const char* drop_options_s[LAST_ENTRY] = {"drop_ssm", "drop_snm", "drop_ssb"};

when you want a string representation of an enum you can drop_options_s[enum];
