I think I figured out why the addition above breaks the ABI: It's
because pa_card_info has a pointer to an array of these objects, with
the following comment:
pa_card_profile_info* profiles; /**< Array of available profile, or
NULL. Array is terminated by an entry with name set to NULL. Number of
entries is stored in n_profiles */
Which means the client has to rely on sizeof(pa_card_profile_info) to
know the address of the second (and third, and so on) array entry. As
sizeof(pa_card_profile_info) is changed, recompilation of clients is
necessary.
:-(
Any good ideas as of how to avoid it?
