Elektra Highlevel API

[domhof]

Purpose

• Added support for enums and arrays
• Improved formatting of generated code
• Fixed key-normalization (trailing / and /# get removed as well)
• Fixed code generation for string default values
• Eliminated some public helper methods (fewer auto completion suggestions in IDEs makes it easier for developers to find the right elektra method)
• Removed error enums from error specification file (instead we use the raw error code)
• Improved enum(-array) support
• Index argument before value in array getters/setters
• Always require default value
• Getters/Setters that allow specification of the value type at runtime

TODO:

• Dokumentation
• More testing
