Dear gnulib people,
I have recently learnt how to use gnulib, and I have to say, it is
pretty impressive. It provides some very useful functions, and it
integrates smoothly with my existing workflows, including git and, more
surprisingly, guix.
I am still discovering the modules, but have already

Dear gnulib developers,
If I try to include the gnulib tests with my project, and build with
address sanitizer, then almost all tests fail, many of which because of
64 bytes allocated in argz_add_sep, a few others are because the amount
of bytes required for an allocation is too large, and asan de

In gl_omap.h, the function to delete a key or a value from an omap is
declared as:
typedef void (*gl_mapkey_dispose_fn) (const void *key);
typedef void (*gl_mapvalue_dispose_fn) (const void *value);
They are always called on a value marked as const void *.
Why is it the case? I will have

Dear gnulib people,
How do you manage the libtool version information for a library using
gnulib? For now, I have it written down explicitly in configure.ac.
Unfortunately, this requires a new commit to bump the numbers before
each release.
Gnulib provides a script to help update the libtool vers

Hello,
I would like to use gnulib for my autotools-based project. However,
when I want to link the gnulib in my program:
SUBDIRS = lib
bin_PROGRAMS = test
test_LDADD = lib/libgnu.la
make cannot re-build lib/libgnu.la since it is defined in
lib/Makefile.am as the target "libgnu.la" a
Hello,
Distributing the generated sources is the default behaviour to expect
from automake; I don't really understand why it is needed to override
the .y.c rule... This behaviour permits you to configure, build,
install, check... the package without having bison installed. Since
the generated .c
Sorry, I have just checked and automake does not distribute the
generated source by default, thus the modified .y.c rule is required.

Hello!
I frequently use ad-hoc code for this, however in library code, in
which xmalloc is not much used.
I learn new gnulib things primarily from the manual. Do you plan to
document it there?

Dear gnulib developers,
Is it possible to parameterize the memory allocator for the ordered map
library? I see, for instance, that the rbtree implementation uses
gl_rbtree_ordered.h, after defining things like NODE_PAYLOAD_PARAMS. I
think it would be easy to add a couple of function pointers and s

Dear Gnulib people,
In manual section 19.2 Controlling the Exported Symbols of Shared
Libraries, I see you define BUILDING_SHARED to 1 if "$enable_shared" is
"yes", and 0 otherwise.
This seems to be a Windows-specific thing, but when I run ./configure -
-help, I read:
--enable-shared[=PKGS] b

Should that not be "vc-mtime.h"?

Dear Gnulib developers,
I want asprintf. The manual page tells me it can be provided by
vasprintf-gnu. However, if I import the vasprintf-gnu module, it tells
me to add:
#include "vasprintf.h"
(like vasprintf-posix, but vasprintf tells me to just include stdio.h)
But this file does not seem to
Dear Gnulib developers,
When I add the setlocale module, it pulls localename in. This one wants
me to link my programs and libraries with @INTL_MACOSX_LIBS@, but then
syntax-check (makefile_at_at_check) complains that it has @'s. If I
should use $(INTL_MACOSX_LIBS) instead, why does the localename
Dear gnulib developers,
In the manual (safe-alloc.texi), I read for the definition of
REALLOC_N:
If reallocation fails, the @code{ptr} variable is not modified.
This claim is justified a little bit earlier in the text:
Some of the memory allocation mistakes that are commonly made are
