[gdal-dev] RFC97 OGRFeatureDefn, OGRFieldDefn and OGRGeomFieldDefn "sealing" available for review

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

Please review RFC 97: OGRFeatureDefn, OGRFieldDefn and OGRGeomFieldDefn 
"sealing"

at https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/8734

Summary:

This RFC aims at avoiding common misuse of the setter methods of the 
OGRFeatureDefn, OGRFieldDefn and OGRGeomFieldDefn classes. Indeed, the 
setter methods of those classes should not be used directly by user code 
(that is non driver implementations), on instances that are owned by a 
OGRLayer. It is quite frequent for users (even seasoned ones) to neglect 
that constraint. Hence this RFC introduces an optional "sealing" 
capability that drivers can enable to avoid users modifying instances 
that they should not.
