Hello, do Kotlin enums become real ObjC enums (which are objects after all) or are they like real enums (two values share the same memory instance?

[Kris Wong]

this is how a Kotlin enum gets exported

I have a hard time reading this, do you know if two “instances” of “alpha” would each occupy their own memory zone or would they both occupy the same one?

[Kris Wong]

they are class properties. i.e., static

Thank you I’ll go read about that

Obj-C enums are C enums

FYI, ObjC enums are not objects. They are actually C enums which are backed by Ints by default. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48986767/different-ways-of-declaring-enum-in-objective-c

This is closer to the ordinal property of a kotlin enum

Interesting, thanks
