There are few cases where virReportEnumRangeError() is passed to a
mismatching enum. With patch 4/4 we can check for this at compile time
(assuming -Wenum-compare is available).
For instance with clang I get:
FAILED: src/conf/libvirt_conf.a.p/domain_validate.c.o
clang ...
../src/conf/domain_validate.c:184:9: error: comparison of different enumeration types ('virDomainVideoBackendType' and 'virDomainInputType') [-Werror,-Wenum-compare]
virReportEnumRangeError(virDomainInputType, video->backend);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../src/util/virerror.h:175:47: note: expanded from macro 'virReportEnumRangeError'
(__typeof__(value))1 == (typname)1 && sizeof((typname)1) != 0 ? #typname : #typname)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~
Whereas with gcc I get more obscure error:
FAILED: src/conf/libvirt_conf.a.p/domain_validate.c.o
cc ...

But I guess this is also okay-ish - it reports there is a problem with
code.
NB this only works with variables that are of a certain enum types. It
does not work with those generic 'int var /* someEnum */' declarations,
understandably. But as we use virXMLPropEnum() more, we can declare
variables of their true type (enum) and get more and more calls to
virReportEnumRangeError() checked.
