Created attachment 9003 [details] [review] Patch adding cairo_context_size Patch (In reply to comment #0) > In an experiment with shm and cairo I ran in to the need for sizeof(cairo_t) > which obviously wont work because it's an incomplete type. > > Rather than complete the type in my file (obivously a horrible idea), I've made > a quick patch adding a cairo_context_size(void) function which returns > sizeof(cairo_t) > An experiment might be the bad way to word it, I'm actually planning to use this What are you trying to do that needs such a thing?! This is deifnitely a WONTFIX. It doesn't really make much sense to just have it for cairo_t anyway, though I think it might make a bit of sense to have it for all the incomplete structs. What I was using it for turned out to not be a good idea anyway (Just using xshm for a pixmap makes a lot more sense...). I'm going to go ahead and close this before I make myself look any more stupid. Yeah, exposing the size defeats most of the reason to leave them incomplete in the first place. That is, they cannot be expanded without breaking compatibility. |
