# <type> defines a single type. It is usually a C typedef but
# may contain arbitrary C code.
#   name - name of this type, if not present in the <name> tag
#   api - matches a <feature> api attribute, if present
#   requires - name of another type definition required by this one
#   category - if present, 'enum' indicates a matching <enums>
#       block to generate an enumerated type for, and 'struct'
#       causes special interpretation of the contents of the type
#       tag including ... TBD ...
#       Other allowed values are 'include', 'define', 'handle' and 'bitmask',
#       which don't change syntactic interpretation but allow organization in
#       the generated header.
#   comment - unused
#   parent - only applicable if category is 'handle'. Notes another type with
#       the 'handle' category that acts as a parent object for this type.
#   returnedonly - only applicable if category is 'struct'. Notes that this
#       struct is going to be filled in by the API, rather than an application
#       filling it out and passing it to the API.
#   structextends - only applicable if category is 'struct'. Lists parent
#       structures which this structure may extend via the pNext chain
#       of the parent.
#       When present it suppresses generation of automatic validity for the
#       pNext member of that structure, and instead the structure is added
#       to pNext chain validity for the parent structures it extends.
# For types without a category, contents include
#   <apientry /> - substitutes for an APIENTRY-style macro on output
#   <name> - contains name of the type being defined
#   <type> - contains name of types used to define this type. There
#       may be multiple imbedded <type> tags
# For types with category 'enum', contents should be empty
# For types with category 'struct', contents should be one or more
#   <member> - like <param> for a struct or union member
#       len - if the member is an array, len may be one or more of the following
#           things, separated by commas (one for each array indirection): another
#           member of that struct, 'null-terminated' for a string, '1' to indicate it's
#           just a pointer (used for nested pointers), or a latex equation (prefixed with
#           'latexmath:')
#       altlen - if len has latexmath equations, this contains equivalent C99
#                expressions separated by commas.
#       externsync - denotes that the member should be externally synchronized
#           when accessed by Vulkan
#       optional - whether this value can be omitted by providing NULL (for
#           pointers), VK_NULL_HANDLE (for handles) or 0 (for bitmasks/values)
#       noautovalidity - tag stating that no automatic validity language should be generated
#       values - comma-separated list of legal values, usually used only for sType enums
#   <comment> - containing arbitrary text (unused)
#
# *** There's a problem here: I'm not sure how to represent the <type>
# syntax where it may contain arbitrarily interleaved text, <type>, and
# <enum> child tags. This allows only the syntax
#   text <type>name</type> text <enum>name</enum> text
# where <type> and <enum> are both optional and occur in the specified
# order, which might eventually be a problem.

# extension, defining an enumerant specific to that feature. The second
# form has more possible attributes. Some combinations of attributes are
# nonsensical in on or the other place, but these are not detected by the
# validator.
#
# Ways to specify the enumerant value:
#   value - integer (including hex) value of the enumerant
#   bitpos - integer bit position of the enumerant in a bitmask
#   [extnumber], offset, [dir] - integer extension number specifying a
#       base block value (inherited from surrounding <extension> if
#       not specified); integer offset in that block; and direction
#       of offset ('-' for negative, positive if not specified).
#   alias - name of another enum this is an alias of
#
# value and bitpos allow, and extnumber/offset/dir require:
#   extends - type name of the enumerant being extended
#
# Other attributes:
#   api - matches a <feature> api attribute, if present
#   type - 'u' (unsigned), 'ull' (uint64), or integer if not present
#   name - enumerant name
#   alias - another enumerant this is semantically identical to

#
#   <proto> is the C function prototype, including the return type

#     optional - whether this value can be omitted by providing NULL (for

#     noautovalidity - tag stating that no automatic validity language should be generated
#     <type> is a <type> name, if present
#     <name> is the function / parameter name
# The textual contents of <proto> and <param> should be legal C
# for those parts of a function declaration.

#     exactly match an API being generated (implicit ^$ surrounding).
#   name - extension name string
#   number - extension number (positive integer, should be unique)
#   protect - C preprocessor symbol to conditionally define the interface
#   platform - should be one of the platform names defined in the
#     <platform> tag. Currently unused.
#   author - name of the author (usually a company or project name)
#   contact - contact responsible for the tag (name and contact information)
#   type - 'device' or 'instance', if present
#   requires - commas-separated list of extension names required by this

#       extension was promoted to; e.g. 'VK_VERSION_1_1', or

#   deprecatedby - Vulkan version or a name of an extension that deprecates
