Feature #11647: [PATCH] include/ruby/ruby.h (struct RObject): hide iv_index_tbl type

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: -
• Target version: -

[normalperson (Eric Wong)]

This is an implementation detail and should not be exposed to
C extension users. We may change this to id_table soon; and
id_table should not be exposed as a public API.

It is highly unlikely any existing C extensions require this;
so the risk of breakage is very low. Ideally, all of RObject
could be hidden.

Hopefully no objections, will commit in a day or two.

• Status changed from Open to Closed

Applied in changeset r52435.
