Hi Nikolai,

I think your recast as a UINT32 is the correct change.  From the UEFI spec
6.2 when allocating "MemoryType values in the range 0x80000000..0xFFFFFFFF
are reserved for use by UEFI OS loaders that are provided by operating
system vendors.  The only illegal memory type values are those in the range
EfiMaxMemoryType..0x7FFFFFFF."

ANSI and ISO C state that named enumeration constants must be type (signed)
int but may be physically stored as either signed int or unsigned int which
is implementation specific (ISO 9998:201x 6.7.2.2).  Some people interpret
this as enums must always be signed int.  However the norm seems to be
treat it as unsigned unless a negative constant is used in the enum
definition.  If your compiler is treating this enum as a signed int then
yes PoolType will always be less than 0x7fffffff.  If you have not changed
the EFI_MEMORY_TYPE definition using a negative I'm not sure why it is
doing this.

Here is a simple example:
#include <stdio.h>

typedef enum {
    e_s_neg_1 = -1,  // <-- valid
    e_s_pos_1 = 1,
    e_s_pos_2 = 2
} e_s;

typedef enum {
    e_u_pos_1 = 1,
    e_u_pos_2 = 2
} e_u;

typedef enum {
    e_und_0,
    e_und_pos_1
} e_und;

typedef enum {
    e_inv_pos_1 = 1,
    e_inv_pos_2 = 2,
    e_inv_neg_1 = 0xffffffff  // <-- invalid but same value as (-1)
} e_inv;

void func_s(e_s e) {
    if (e <= 0x7fffffff) {  // <-- should use test/jns or cmp/jg
        printf("func_s: 0x%08x\n", e);
    }
}

void func_u(e_u e) {
    if (e <= 0x7fffffff) {  // <-- should use test/js or cmp/ja
        printf("func_u: 0x%08x\n", e);
    }
}

void func_und(e_und e) {
    if (e <= 0x7fffffff) {  // <-- should use test/js or cmp/ja
        printf("func_und: 0x%08x\n", e);
    }
}

void func_inv(e_inv e) {
    if (e <= 0x7fffffff) {  // <-- should use test/js or cmp/ja
        printf("func_inv: 0x%08x\n", e);
    }
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    func_s(-1);  // <-- only function that should print
    func_u(-1);
    func_und(-1);
    func_inv(-1);
    return 0;
}
