Hi Julian,

Hello Julian,
the structure definition itself is already in a header file (aiutils.h).
Probably you are referring to the forward declaration used in the patch?
Exactly, it probably shouldn't be here as the header file that
includes the structure should arguably already be included.
I am afraid I have to disagree with you, for the reason that by
including the header file you introduce unnecessary coupling. Let me
elaborate. If a .c file does not need to know the contents of a struct,
but it only needs to know that a pointer to an opaque struct, then one
should not provide the C file with knowledge on the internals of the
struct (hence not include the .h file).
Bye, Roland.
