I just noticed that you cannot use your enums as argument or return types of
function if you model your IDL-file on the example from the documentation
enum e {A=1, B=2, C=4};
you have to use either
enum _e {...};
typedef enum _e e;
or even better (since it will save a C function call even without a smart
optimizer)
typedef enum {...} e;
to get the full benefit of the translation to a Caml enumerated type.
This is of course a ( -- if you think about it long enough -- trivial)
consequence of the silly struct and enum syntax of C, but I think that this
idiom should probably be mentioned in the documentation.
Yours, Florian.
