As others already have pointed out, xlc is correct and these
warnings are perhaps useful. I'd just remove the last sentence
while queuing, as "Enums are just ints in C" is only half a truth.
The constants like OBJ_COMMIT can be used as "int", but the type of
an enum itself may not be the same as "int"---it can be narrower.
