Hi,
Maybe you can consider removing (or altering) this statement from the
documentation main page: "If you prefer troubles you can use the C++
interface. " (in geom.h).
It's still troubles ! how would you reword it ?
Leaks, API/ABI instabilities...
Leaks? So, C++ API causes memory leaks out of the box?
It's just silly to warns users "please don't use our software
because it hasn't been fixed in concrete yet, the dev team is alive
and keeps working on it"
Let's just send users to JTS, so they can avoid more potential
troubles than just those mentioned.
strk / Mateusz,
I would suggest "If you prefer troubles you can use the C++ interface"
to "Applications requiring API/ABI stability are encouraged to use the
C interface instead of the C++ interface."
I agree with Mateusz that the current text is unhelpful, and unnecessarily
unprofessional even though I'm a strong proponent of using the C API in
many situations.
I am not aware of memory leaks related to the C++ API, and if there are some
there is no reason not to fix them.
Best regards,
