/*
 * Things that can be defined here (and in other mojom files):
 * - consts
 * - enums
 * - structs
 *
 * Attributes:
 * - skipHeader - structs only, and only in core.mojom
 *   - Do not generate a C++ definition for the structure
 *   - Any type used in a mojom interface definition must have a corresponding
 *     definition in a mojom file for the code generator to accept it, except
 *     for types solely used as map/array members for which a definition is not
 *     required
 *   - This attribute allows defining a symbol for the code generator that
 *     corresponds to a libcamera type without duplicating its definition in the
 *     generated C++ headers
 * - skipSerdes - structs only, and only in core.mojom
 *   - All types need a (de)serializer to be defined in order to be transported
 *     over IPC. The (de)serializer can be:
 *     - Manually implemented as a template specialization in
 *       ipa_data_serializer.cpp in the libcamera sources
 *     - Generated at build time for types defined in a mojom file
 *   - This attribute instructs the build system that a (de)serializer is
 *     available for the type and there's no need to generate one
 * - hasFd - struct fields or empty structs only
 *   - Designate that this field or empty struct contains a SharedFD
 *
 * Rules:
 * - If the type is defined in a libcamera C++ header *and* a (de)serializer is
 *   available then the type shall be declared as empty with both attributes
 *   associated and specified as: [skipHeader, skipSerdes]
 *   - Example: [skipHeader, skipSerdes] ControlList {};
 * - If the type is defined in libcamera but no (de)serializer is available
 *   then the type definition in the core.mojom file should have the
 *   [skipHeader] attribute only
 *   - A (de)serializer will be generated for the type
 * - If a type definition has [skipHeader], then the header where the type is
 *   defined must be included in ipa_interface.h
 * - Types that are solely used as array/map members do not require a mojom
 *   definition if one exists in libcamera
 * - Nested types (e.g. FrameBuffer::Plane) cannot be defined in mojom
 *   - If used in mojom, the nested type shall be defined in a C++ header
 *     and a (de)serializer shall be provided
 *   - Nested types can only be used as array/map members
 *   - When using the type, the C++ namespace separator :: is replaced with a
 *     dot
 *   - In example, to use the FrameBuffer::Plane type in mojom:
 *     - Provide a definition of the FrameBuffer::Plane type in a C++ header
 *     - Include the header in ipa_interface.h
 *     - Provide a (de)serializer implementation ipa_data_serializer.cpp
 *     - In mojom, reference the type as FrameBuffer.Plane and only as map/array
 *       member
 * - [skipHeader] and [skipSerdes] only work here in core.mojom
 * - If a field in a struct has a SharedFD, but is not explicitly
 *   defined so in mojom, then the field must be marked with the [hasFd]
 *   attribute
 *
 * \todo Generate documentation from Doxygen comments in .mojom files
 * \todo Figure out how to keep the skipHeader structs in sync with their
 * C++ definitions, and the skipSerdes structs in sync with their
 * (de)serializers
