There is not an official guideline about "breaking compatibility". I'd like to break as little as possible, and avoid complex or tricky constructions like the use of I just compiled a big Xilinx project, which contains an FTP-server and a compression module, all with I must say that the code rarely refers to the one of the 3 fields ( Another way to void compilation errors would be :
but that might cause problems in applications that also use stdio.h Note that the compiler error is easy to understand:
Can you add some comments about the compatibility break? There was a problem hiding this comment. Choose a reason for hiding this commentThe reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more. If compatibility with many different flavors of environments what I'd suggest is:
@htibosch - are you referring to adding comments in the code about compatibility issues? If so I'd suggest the code is not the place for that, but release notes between versions is a better place to provide that type of information - i.e. provide search/replace information on compatibility breaks. Happy to provide a sed script if you like. Something like:

Same here. Would this break existing users code?

This would only break existing user code if they are accessing the values inside the pxStatBuffer in their code in some way associated with
st_[a|m|c]time
. It can be mitigated by providing users a description of the breaking change in thisLab-Project
based repo.The other option is to possibly investigate replacing the entire struct for Linux based examples with the linux
stat
structure instead of using home-grown version, and ensuring compatibility between the FF_Stat and linuxstat
is maintained - see #50 (comment).
