Thanks for this, Hlodver.

Yes, I think that is important. Steven has started that and we can pick it up and adapt, but I think now we need to finish 7.0 first. There's enough coding hours there to keep us going.

I also think we need to use this list more. If anything, to ask questions.

Correct call Victor, I believe I can see where the PR is coming from. The logic behind LIBCSOUND and how it relates to the final compilation is a clever design but not obvious. I've never seen a successful technical documentation, so I'm not going to suggest to write docs about how the compilation stages are set up but conversation on the mailing list makes more sense.

Hi all,

I just put a stop to PR #1850. This is the kind of code level changes that cannot be done without discussion here so that everyone can be aware and discuss.

 It is also changing the code in ways that may cause problems down the line. We can only do anything like this with a deeper understanding of how the system works. It is similar to the "linking opcodes" issue, but probably worse.

I will not follow a discussion at the PR. If anything needs to be done in that regard, we need to hear it here first.

In any case, it would be useful if any of the major reorganisation PRs like the
one moving directories were discussed here first too.
