It's an "extensible" enumeration, like GtkResponseType for GtkDialog: the API accepts an integer, because app and library developers can register their own icon sizes, but GTK+ provides default icon sizes out of the box. It's a relatively unused functionality, these days. > But here, again see last line of code segment: > <parameter name="size" transfer-ownership="none"> > <doc xml:space="preserve">a stock icon size (#GtkIconSize)</doc> > <type name="gint" c:type="GtkIconSize"/> All API that takes a GtkIconSize should have a `type int` annotation. How you handle the translation between an enumeration value and an integer is entirely up to your language binding; the Perl bindings, for instance, have additional code that allows transforming strings (and array of strings, for bitmasks) into integer values, whereas the Python bindings simply turn enumeration names into integers after resolving their name from "Namespace.TypeName.VALUE" to "NAMESPACE_TYPENAME_VALUE". In both cases, integers are passed through as they are, given that enumeration values in C are by definition integers.
