Possibility of dynamically passing updated headers?

[DrTeagle]

Howdy,

I was wondering that since it seems that everytime a function or variable is renamed, all plugin authors have to rename this to a new name, if it is possible to dynamically say what something is? I genuinely have no idea how this would be possible in cpp, but maybe an API or something that names will not change on?

My weed-level overview is that before compiling the plugins they query what the names are of certain "functions"- that is not programming functions but general things like "window management"- and then pass that into the compile phase. I think this should be possible as #include and other things literally just copy-paste so a guard saying "use this" should be possible? This way when something is renamed/deleted(for whatever reason) it can still compile and run. I think this would be a dramatic improvement and kill a lot of headaches that happen for various plugins.

no as in you dont want to, or no as in it's not possible? I am genuinely curious about if this is even possible?
