The glib-mkenums program allows generating code to handle enums/flags
with very different purposes. One of its purposes could be generating
per-enum/flag methods to be exposed in a library API, and while doing
that, it would be nice to have a way to specify in which API version
the enum/flag was introduced, so that the same version could be shown
in the generated API methods.
E.g. From the following code:
/**
* QmiWmsMessageProtocol:
* @QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_CDMA: CDMA.
* @QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_WCDMA: WCDMA.
*
* Type of message protocol.
*
* Since: 1.0
*/
typedef enum { /*< since=1.0 >*/
QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_CDMA = 0x00,
QMI_WMS_MESSAGE_PROTOCOL_WCDMA = 0x01
} QmiWmsMessageProtocol;
The template would allow us to generate a method documented like this,
including the Since tag with the value given in the mkenums 'since' tag.
/**
* qmi_wms_message_protocol_get_string:
* @val: a QmiWmsMessageProtocol.
*
* Gets the nickname string for the #QmiWmsMessageProtocol specified at @val.
*
* Returns: (transfer none): a string with the nickname, or %NULL if not found. Do not free the returned value.
* Since: 1.0
*/
const gchar *qmi_wms_message_protocol_get_string (QmiWmsMessageProtocol val);

We're using Meson for GLib itself, and we recommend people to use it
for their own projects, so it would be good to have our documentation
present examples on how to use Meson with our tools.
Let's move the template example into its own section while we're at it,
since it's referenced by both Meson and Autotools examples.
Fixes: #1783
The tool was ported to Python, but we should not mention the programming
language used, in case we port it to some other language in the distant
future.
We should show how to properly use glib-mkenums with Autotools, in
the hope that fewer people will be caught cargo-culting rules written
in the late '90s.

Allow passing --identifier-prefix and --symbol-prefix to glib-mkenums,
with the same meanings as in g-ir-scanner, to allow fixing up the enum
name parsing globally rather than needing to add a /<* *>/ override to
each enum.

* gobject/glib-mkenums.in: Added a lowercase_name option, to be used
next to the enum declaration, where the flag option is already used,
when it is not possible to guess where to put the underscores in the
_get_type() function name, for instance for GNOMEVFSURIHide.
