Re API (and ABI) design and maintenanceRe API (and ABI) design and maintenancePosted Nov 19, 2012 6:44 UTC (Mon) by k3ninho (subscriber, #50375)In reply to: Re API (and ABI) design and maintenance by nix Parent article: EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE, epoll, and API design
This article itself supplies an example where an older interface design has caused internal plumbing designs to be less than the best. This will happen again, and will cause a kind-of scarring to the structure of the Linux Kernel. Wouldn't you like to be able to offer end-users of the Kernel a clean set of interfaces, easy to comprehend and unhindered by history's quirks?
