Cannot redefine `stdint` types
I'm writing an implementation of the C standard library. Thus, I am defining types like uint16_t. When I use pub type int16_t = libc::c_short;, nothing gets generated. However, if I use pub type some_other_name = libc::c_short;, it does get generated (of course, assuming there is a usage).
How can I generate these types anyways?
Hmm, a bit edge case-y. PrimitiveType::maybe seems to special-case these names, but I'm a bit confused as of why, since the input is supposed to be a rust type, not a C/C++ type... :)
Ah, blaming it seems this was added in https://github.com/eqrion/cbindgen/pull/130 (without tests :/).
libc::int8_t and so on are deprecated, maybe removing those particular special cases is sensible (though there's a few more like ptrdiff_t which seems unfortunate to remove).
I think the only reasonable solution @emilio would honestly probably be a rewrite of cbindgen so that it understands the module system.
I guess for the time being I can just use the rename annotation
