The number of entries in an enum type is not part of the enumerated values, but we generate it as such. See for example: typedef enum OnOffAuto { ON_OFF_AUTO_AUTO, ON_OFF_AUTO_ON, ON_OFF_AUTO_OFF, ON_OFF_AUTO__MAX, <--------- } OnOffAuto; Instead of declaring the enum count as the last enumerated value, #define it, so it is not part of the enum. The previous example becomes: typedef enum OnOffAuto { ON_OFF_AUTO_AUTO, ON_OFF_AUTO_ON, ON_OFF_AUTO_OFF, #define ON_OFF_AUTO__MAX 3 <--------- } OnOffAuto;I'm in favour. In fact, I've wanted to do this for a while, just never got around to it.Since Clang enables the -Wswitch warning by default [*], remove all pointless foo__MAX cases in switch statement, in order to avoid: audio/audio.c:2231:10: error: case value not in enumerated type 'AudioFormat' (aka 'enum AudioFormat') [-Wswitch] case AUDIO_FORMAT__MAX: ^ ui/input.c:233:14: error: case value not in enumerated type 'KeyValueKind' (aka 'enum KeyValueKind') [-Wswitch] case KEY_VALUE_KIND__MAX: ^ ...

While I could find that in the C++ standard, I couldn't in the C one. I wonder if in that case QAPI should generate foo__MAX = 0. No code / structure should use an enum type which doesn't contain any member...
