Intresting approach -- I don't mind changing any ctime calls to strftime in code I come across, however I worry about not noticing these. I didn't see anything in your patch that would warn about usage of ctime? Would it make sense for a gnulib ctime module to NOT replace ctime but warn that this function should really not be used? Via header macros, maybe a stub ctime that calls abort, and maybe a 'make syntax-check' test. What do you think? /Simon
