Hello,

I'm pretty sure has_type_id = false isn't needed in an enum mapping in a

VAPI file.

I have tried both false and true values and there is no difference in the

running

of the test program I created. The test program just just prints the enum

values.

I have also binary compared the program and both versions are identical.

So I'm

pretty sure it isn't needed, but before I remove those particular CCode

attributes

from the enum examples in
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/LegacyBindings
I wanted to check here.


I believe it's needed. Try defining a property in a GObject with the enum
type to see if there is a difference.
