Why `InstructionView::opcode()` Returns `int` (Not `OpCode`)** + +**Question**: Should `opcode()` return `OpCode` enum instead of `int`? + +**Answer**: **NO** - Current design is correct because: + +1. **Primary use is array indexing**: `luaP_opmodes[opcode]` +2. **All helper functions take `int`**: `testTMode(int)`, `getOpMode(int)` +3. **Minimizes total casts**: Would need 10+ casts if it returned `OpCode` + +**Solution**: Not to change return type, but to **encapsulate array access** inside InstructionView methods (Phase 112 Part 2). Now callers don't need raw opcode at all! + +**2. Size/Count Conversions Are Fundamental** + +```cpp +// MUST remain int - Lua API design +int oldsize = proto->getLocVarsSize(); + +// C API compatibility +LUA_API int lua_checkstack(lua_State *L, int n); // Cannot change + +// Bytecode format +dumpInt(D, static_cast(code.size())); // Protocol uses int +``` + +**Verdict**: These casts are **correct and necessary** - represent API boundaries and design constraints, not flaws. + +**3. Enum Class Tradeoffs** + +`RESERVED` enum class causes ~90 casts: +```cpp +// Token is RESERVED enum class, but stored/compared as int +case static_cast(RESERVED::TK_IF): // 90+ instances! +``` + +**Analysis**: Type safety at definition, but loses it at use.
