I translated the headers for FreeType2 to D, and in many

If I declare an extern(C) enum in D, is it guaranteed to have

extern(C) should have no effect on enums. It's for function
linkage, and enums don't even have an address, so they don't
actually end up in the program as a symbol. And since C's int
and D's int are the same on all platforms that D supports (we'd
have c_int otherwise, like we have c_long), any enum with a
base type of int (which is the default) will match what's in C.

I'm confused...is it only C++ that has implementation defined
enum size? I thought that was C as well.
