Even the patches I did to the automatic documentation generation would
benefit greatly from this. There could be a clickable link from the
argument to the enumeration, or (with a good deal more work) it could
detect enums that are used only once and place them right there under
the arg.
And it would be nice to format the bitfields a bit differently. The
numerical values are more important and printing them is hex is useful,
while this is not true for normal enums.

Hello,
It seems like this discussion died off. Currently there is no way to
tell, from the Wayland XML specification whether an argument is a
bitfield, or whether the argument takes an enum and what enum this is.
I am currently in the progress of writing a Wayland binding generator
for the Rust language. This language, like many others is strongly
typed. To make full usage of this type system, it would be beneficial to
know from the specification whether an argument is a bitfield, and what
enum type it takes.
Surely there are more people who generate bindings to these strongly
typed languages. How have you fixed the issue? Are there patched
versions available, and maybe pending to be merged? I have looked around
a bit, and didn't find anything, but then again, I'm not familiar with
Wayland development. (This is the first time I use a mailing list!)
Much appreciated,
Jeroen Bollen
