Incomplete types are not the solution to binary compatibility. The correct way to solve binary compat is to have developers who understand what it means and why it is important.
I'm with Jeff and Will here. In apr_mmap_t, we're exposing lots of OS-dependent structures (see all of the #ifdefs). There is no good reason for having these structures exposed. If a program legitimately needs this information, we should have an apr_os_mmap_get or something like that. Don't care much, but apr_mmap_t as it stands right now should be an incomplete type as it contains non-portable structure members that is intricately tied to the implementation. That's a no-no. The structure shouldn't be tied to the implementation. -- justin
