mutability of WGPUChainedStruct

[VarLad]

Shouldn't WGPUChainedStruct be mutable since a pointer to it is needed in a lot of structs, including itself

struct WGPUChainedStruct
    next::Ptr{WGPUChainedStruct}
    sType::WGPUSType
end

Usually LinkedList Datastructure should be mutable for extensibility. Let's reason around it and make changes. Meanwhile if this is a show stopper for you, you can use cStruct like interface to create this struct on heap or use Accessors.jl to create copy for each modification.

There's a chance that we can get it fixed from Clang.jl itself
Lets wait and see. JuliaInterop/Clang.jl#490

I was going through clang.jl to find the fix. If they are fixing it upstream themselves, great. Thanks for taking initiative.

I guess they will have to check for recursive structure now.

It's a bug rather. They should generalize Pointer to const structure as mutable 🤔.
