would it be possible to have the dynamic linker handle struct field offsets as relocations so you could keep things abi-stable without using opaque pointers and function calls?

@easrng oh hey it's basically the Objective-C non fragile ABI

[easrng@pleroma.envs.net]

I guess you could also just export them as variables and do pointer arithmetic

[easrng@pleroma.envs.net]

but having the linker patch the code should be faster, right?

@easrng generally we try not to have relocations in code these days
