After upgrading Prima ... other Prima-related modules break (error messages, segfault) #116

Closed HaraldJoerg closed 1 month ago

HaraldJoerg commented 1 month ago

I am using Prima and OpenGL, and also Prima and PDL. After upgrading Prima to 1.73, Prima::OpenGL and PDL::Graphics::Prima had strange errors, including occasional segfaults. For both modules, re-installing the same version again (i.e. recompiling) fixed the issue.

Is there a way how I can find out which modules need to be re-installed after a Prima upgrade? Or can Prima defend itself against binary incompatible modules?

I had a look at Prima's code, and in include/apricot.h there's a PRIMA_VERSION_BOOTCHECK which does such a defence already. The version it checks against, PRIMA_CORE_VERSION, in latest master, is 2017050901. Please can this get updated when ABI gets broken, so that users will actually know?

Yes of course. I am consistently forgetting this
