Which makes me think -- the ABI will have changed by adding three new pointers to the end of the main struct, yes? Of the options on the table, do any of the others involve adding three new pointers? What I'm getting at is that while the API and symantics may change with a different NA system -- maybe the ABI won't change as much (even if those pointers mean something different, but the size of the struct could be constant). Or is this just a fantasy? -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
