Thanks for adding --avoid, and I can see how it works for xalloc-die, but I'm still a bit lost, not only about unlocked-io, but also about gettext-h. unlocked-io can always be omitted, but it should be avoided if any multithreaded code might use it. This is sort of a negative dependency, in a way. (If you omit unlocked-io you lose performance, but the same API works.) gettext is somewhat similar to unlocked-io. It can always be omitted if you use gettext-h. (You lose functionality, but the same API works.) xalloc-die, in contrast, doesn't have a substitute in gnulib; if you don't use gnulib xalloc-die but some gnulib code needs it, you have to implement it yourself (that is, the same API will not work unless you implement it). This seems to be what --avoid is for. _______________________________________________ bug-gnulib mailing list bug-gnulib@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnulib
