Reduce the need for a bridging header #4

Closed demosdemon closed 9 years ago

demosdemon commented 9 years ago

I recently discovered that there's a typealias in ScriptingBridge called AEKeyword which is the type expected for SBObject.propertyWithCode(_:). It's aliased to FourCharCode which itself is aliased to UInt32. You could reduce the need for the bridging header by unpacking all off the enums' FourCharCodes into a uin32 literal value and adding them to the swift file.

So the following C enum would translate to the Swift Enum:

enum iTunesEKnd {
  iTunesEKndTrackListing = 'kTrk' /* a basic listing of tracks within a playlist */,
  iTunesEKndAlbumListing = 'kAlb' /* a listing of a playlist grouped by album */,
  iTunesEKndCdInsert = 'kCDi' /* a printout of the playlist for jewel case inserts */
};
typedef enum iTunesEKnd iTunesEKnd;
enum iTunesEKind : AEKeyword {
  case iTunesEKndTrackListing = 0x6b54726b
  case iTunesEKndAlbumListing = 0x6b416c62
  case iTunesEKndCdInsert = 0x6b434469
}

Thank you for your suggestion. I was somewhat on the fence about Swiftifying the enums. I'll take another look at this option. Feel free to submit a pull request if you've already done the work related to this.
