Summary0011685: CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS doesn't find enum constants
DescriptionSometimes header files use enum constants instead of defines for numeric constants:
    enum {SOMETHING = 0x123};
instead of
    #define SOMETHING 0x123
However, it looks like CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS thinks symbols defined this way doesn't exist.

The check does not work for types either. We cannot change the behavior of the check without breaking compatibility with existing calls to it. I've updated the documentation to be more clear about the behavior:

Closing as not fixable because the behavior of the check cannot be changed, but the documentation update is still a "fix" in some sense.
