Nobody seems to agree on what is supposed to be what, if the current API is supposed to be the stable one or not and so on. Quite frankly, I do not care. I want to be able to use the C API, and I would like for it to be tested so we avoid episodes like the landing pad one in the future.<br><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><span class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"></div><div class="gmail_extra">Also, whether, the C API is stable or change between version, being able to read and write IR from it seems like a bare minimum and having test for this as well.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Having a test does not prevent the API to be changed.

</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Once again, doesn't matter. i'm trying to get some test in.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">This thread has gone full ouroboros . Basically, few contributor use the C API, and it is not well tested. Yet, when some people use the C API (some in this thread showed up, including myself) or want to contribute to it, it always devolve into some endless bikescheding and nothing gets done.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Things is, core devs do not care for the most part about the C API. C API user have hard time to get involved because core dev do not care and it take an absurd amount of energy for a non core dev to get anything in.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div>
