How do you see it's done if others will (*) start (ab)using that struct directly? > And if so, would be this series acceptable > as-is then (modulo the better include-sorting mentioned by Andy)? *From my experience it's not the Q "will they or not?", the Q is "when?" they start abusing it. I really prefer to hide as much as possible from day 1. Maybe the structure can be split to two? Currently IIO has a (painful and long) conversion from open to opaque. Taking this into account I really don't won't to repeat this design mistake. But it's all up to the maintainers, of course. Just my deep worries about this... while the idea, as I said, I fully support. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
