And the comment above those declarations say as much, but Jiapeng Chong seems to
be getting a legitimate warning as a result, and AFAICT xbitmap_tree_iter_next
really isn't used in the codebase. Maybe it's worth commenting it out or
#ifdefing it, while leaving it around for reference as you intended?

(I'm sympathetic to the macro-generated function hell, for sure.)
