My (limited) experience suggests that things arenât that bad between 4.5
and 4.7, at least for the tree, cgraph, and gimple subsets that my
plug-in uses.
My feeling is that there arenât so many ways to design the core of these
three APIs, anyway. But surely your hindsight could help understand and
anticipate API changes.
