# String-based "incomplete pointers" were implemented in ctypes 0.6.3 (2003, when
# ctypes was an external project). They made obsolete by the current
# incomplete *types* (setting `_fields_` late) in 0.9.5 (2005).
# ctypes was added to Python 2.5 (2006), without any mention in docs.

# This tests incomplete pointer example from the old tutorial
# (https://svn.python.org/projects/ctypes/tags/release_0_6_3/ctypes/docs/tutorial.stx)
