Hi there, I'm trying to annotate a 3rd party API with apinotes. I'm having trouble differentiating (in the apinotes file) between e.g. void fill(uint8\_t r, uint8\_t g, uint8\_t b, uint8\_t a = 255); (setter) and fill(uint8… --- ## [Apinotes are ignored for a C module with Zephyr RTOS](https://forums.swift.org/t/apinotes-are-ignored-for-a-c-module-with-zephyr-rtos/84399)

I’ve been working on a project using Embedded Swift in Zephyr and I built a thin wrapper around some of its C APIs.

A common pattern in C libraries are typedef-ed pointers, such as typedef void\* CXIndex. Is there any way to import this as a wrapper struct in Swift? Here's what I tried so far: Typedefs: - Name: CXIndex SwiftName: In… --- ## [Adding API Notes](https://forums.swift.org/t/adding-api-notes/82914)

I’m experimenting with improving the default WinSDK projection, but I’m having a hard time getting API notes recognized by the compiler.

I'm trying to use a C library (libexif) in an SPM package, but as with any C library, it needs some refinement for Swift use. However, I can't seem to get Xcode to pick up my apinotes file.
