Here's how I would define
the GStatBuf data type:
Won't you break ABI if you're changing the layout of the struct on
linux/unixes? As I understand this is not an issue on Windows since
everyone ships the libraries with the binary, but it is on Linux.
Nope. On linux there IS no ABI to break - everything is #define'd to its
libc name - so there is no real g_stat(). Any existing code out there will
just be calling stat(). If we make this change however we will be
introducing an ABI that will need to be maintained which is why its
important everyone agrees the data types are wide enough.
