I checked the struct definition. At least _pSLRegexp_Type is meant to be 
passed as a function argument, so it must be set by the calling routine. 
Therefore its definition has to be public. On the other hand if these 
structs are meant to be internal, then slang.h should be edited to remove 
all references to them. IMHO, having references to private interfaces in a 
public header is a Bad Thing(tm).
