Re: ABI breakage in 2.3.8 (bad bad bad !!) -- FW: [ft-devel] Accessing FSType (Type 1 or CID)?

[Bevan, David]

I would have used an alternative approach if I had been informed that adding a new field to the public structure was not permitted.

Yes, I think this should work without breaking backwards binary

compatibility of the library.  In any case, the new field should be

at the end of the structure.
