Research direction

Start with the typedef enum and SP_SetProperty declaration in the issue, then inspect CppSharp's parameter type-mapping and override entry points. Document how a long parameter can be represented with SP_ATTR_ENUM, including the relevant configuration path and a way to verify the generated binding.

Description

Brief Description

In my situation I have a typedefed C enum that is intended to be passed as a parameter to a function. However, this function declaration merely identifies the parameter as a long so there is no way for CppSharp to figure out that the 2 are related. How can I override the parameter of this function to use the Enum type?

    SP_ATTR_TIMEOUT         = 1,
    SP_ATTR_LOG             = 2        
} SP_ATTR_ENUM;

SP_EXPORT int       SP_API SP_SetProperty   (SP_HANDLE hDiag, long lProperty, long lFlag, const void *lpValue);
