I take it that your response is to my "... it will work" sentence, not
the paragraph below that.

Ah, indeed.

The algorithm *could* be interpreted such that e.g. the interface change "int foo(void)" -> "int foo(int)" is an interface addition of int foo(int) and an interface remove of int foo(void), thus triggering both #5 and #6. But in that case "changed" need not be mentioned in #4 either. So, because
"changed" is mentioned in #4, it also needs to be explicitly mentioned
in #6.

Ah, ok.  Yes, you're right.  Feel free to commit a patch to
s/removed/&  or changed/  in 6.
Sorry I came in late for the discussion. Is it correct to interpret "removed" as an interface has been removed, or an interface has been changed so as to cause a binary incompatibility, so that bumping the major version is the result to indicate it is not 100% binary compatible with the previous version, and therefore may break a program that is already compiled against this library?

I've pushed the attached patch...

Cheers,
Peter

    Clarify versioning algorithm documentation.

    about setting age to zero on interface change.
