That's about as far from "non-invasive" as I can imagine :-(
I really, really want to avoid doing anything like the above, because it
would force us to expose to the whole backend many data structures and
state variables that are currently local to individual .c files. That
complicates understanding and debugging tremendously, not to mention
slowing the edit/compile/debug cycle when you are changing such
structures.
Another option would be to create thread local hashtable or other lookup
structure to which you would register a structure for a particular .c file
or group of files.
You could then define the structures you need locally without affecting other parts of the codebase.
