And should never be part of it - for *any* project that provides headers and libraries for other code to use. One problem is that the configuration settings with which the project was built are *not* necessarily the configuration settings with which the other code is being built; it might, for example, be compiled with a different compiler - which should be permitted as long as the two compilers build code using the same compiler-level ABI (calling sequence, etc.). ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
