Hello, My main issue is that I don't use error() and I have issues with it because some module (xalloc-die) uses it. In fact does xalloc-die really needs to report using error()? The error.texi explains the issue but doesn't solve it. If progname is GPL and error can't use it why not have a self contained error without progname? > > It seems that error.c uses _GL_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_PRINTF but it > doesn't > > depend on anything that defines it. > Thanks, I pushed the following patch; does it fix things for you? It does, but adds yet another module as dependency :( regards, Nikos
