Because it's (incorrectly) used by some apps like cmake. They should use alloca which translates to __builtin_alloca in GCC, but... well... OTOH, do we really WANT to expose this via our docs? I think no. > + _feinitialise _feinitialise is internal only and called from the DLL init code. We export this symbol only for old applications, see Cygwin's fenv.c. > + _get_osfhandle (Windows) > + _pipe (Windows) We export _pipe, but I don't remember why, and it's not in any header. We shouldn't document it. Looks good, otherwise. Thanks, Corinna
