Since a compiler is allowed to use a signed type to implement an enum,
please cast "event" to an unsigned type before comparing it with the
array size. Additionally, please consider to define IB_EVENT() as an
inline function instead of a preprocessor macro.

I can do that, any specific reason why to use inline over macro here?

Not really ... just a general preference for functions over macros. One of the advantages we all know is that using a function instead of a macro gives the compiler a chance to perform type checking on arguments.
