anyone know if anything strange is going on here that would prevent
trivial conversion to d?

The only thing I can think of is fully-qualified enums. The #define ensures that you _don't_ have to fully qualify DW_TAG_invalid. But why they would do this (considering C doesn't have this enum feature), I don't know.
