Then it should return an unsigned int.  You should used a sized integer
type only when the size really matters (e.g. hardware registers or packed
fields in a structure).

Yes, but why these particular numbers?  Also, do they really need to be an
enum?  Since you're defining hard values for each enum, you're not really
using them as an enum.  Make these into macros.
