I have such enum constuct and typedef struct:

#define str(x) #x

typedef enum {
    MCSIMULATION,
} jobType;

typedef struct {
    jobType type;
}x, *xPtr;

int main(){
    xPtr f = malloc(sizeof(x));
    f->type = MCSIMULATION;
    return 0;
}

Then I want to print the value of f.type:

printf("%s", str(f->type));

But as output I have, when I expected to have "MCSIMULATION":

f->type

How to print it properly?

Try using printf("%d", f->type); – ColdSteel Sep 28 '16 at 10:35
@user3351949 then the whole point of having `MCSIMULATION` is lost, nop? – Sourav Ghosh Sep 28 '16 at 10:35
@user3351949 I will have 0, but I want to have a string value of enum. – Kenenbek Arzymatov Sep 28 '16 at 10:36
@SouravGhosh The desired output is "MCSIMULATION" ? – ColdSteel Sep 28 '16 at 10:36
@SouravGhosh Sorry didn't get the Question – ColdSteel Sep 28 '16 at 10:37
