STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
Would it make sense to add a "version" member to the structure? It would allow to support an old stable structure for the stable ABI and a new structure with other changes. The problem is how to initalize the version member. On Windows, many structures have a member which is the size of the structure. I tried to implement such ABI compatibility for PEP 587 PyConfig structure, but the idea was rejected (there was no need for a stable ABI when Python is embedded in an application): https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-...@python.org/thread/C7Z2NA2DTM3DLOZCFQAK5A2WFYO3PHHX/ ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45459> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
