* Note about registering bitfield values (if p_is_bitfield is true): even though p_constant_value is signed, language bindings are
* advised to treat bitfields as uint64_t, since this is generally clearer and can prevent mistakes like using -1 for setting all bits.
* Language APIs should thus provide an abstraction that registers bitfields (uint64_t) separately from regular constants (int64_t).
