Hi Mark,

Thanks for the patch, its being merged:
https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs/pull/522

I have open issues about enums and unions they will be fixed as part of
my work into traits. They are a type of algebraic data type so in theory
i can reuse a lot of the existing code to implement them.

Thanks

--Phil
