Yes, but like mallinfo, I'm sure we'll run into other cases where changing the interface will result in having incompatible function signatures to other standard systems (e.g., Linux). I find it strange that after 21 years, more toolchains and software projects haven't adopted C99. Twenty-one years!! So, I would suggest to remain C89 compliant with the configurable option to be either *strict* C89 (at the cost of losing some standards-compliance with other stuff) or *loose* C89 (to gain better standards-compliance with other stuff), the term "loose" meaning that we can, for example, pass structs. But only if the user configures us to do so. Cheers, Nathan
