Define "this" :) As discussed before in (and around) these: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-November/027317.html http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-November/027321.html Thomas thinks the struct modification might not even need a LIBABIVER bump, but that all depends on the details of how the struct is used, I've no clue about that so I wont comment further on it. Since the added symbols seem to be intended to be private, the versioning macro uses and .map changes should be just dropped. Only exported symbols are to be versioned. So ultimately the answer is, "yes, but it depends on the details" :) - Panu - - Panu -
