Understanding Kdevelop Source Code

[Lucas Tanure]

Hi,

I'm studying kdevelop code to in the future help the project. So, I
have a small question :

kdevplatform/serialization/itemrepository.h:98
enum {
    ItemRepositoryBucketSize = 1<<16
};

Why do this way ? What are the benefits?

Why not ?
#define ItemRepositoryBucketSize 65536

Thanks
