Abstract definition of SDL API

Hello!

I’m the author of SDL.zig, an attempt to create a Zig binding for SDL.

As auto-translating the headers does not convey enough information about the expected types, a lot of APIs are hand-adjusted to actually fit the intent of the SDL api. One example would be: SDL_Color* colors has to be translated to colors: [*]SDL_Color (pointer to many), and not colors: *SDL_Color (pointer to one).

So what i’m asking is: Is the SDL project open to provide a machine-readable abstract definition of the SDL APIs that allow precise generation of C headers, Zig bindings and possibly other languages (C#, Rust, Nim, …) so there’s only one authorative source for the APIs that convey enough information to satisfy all target languages?

Regards
