Ok - this issue seems to be solved. > > But there is a naming conflict, as the functions names are reserved by C99. Good point. I have no idea how to proceed with this. Although, I would agree with Joachim (see below) that for the time beeing libcerf can be considered a complement to glibc. In addition, once glibc provides the functionality the C99 standard demands, the transition from libcerf to glibc would be easy as the names are function names are already correct. Ok - this is my pragmatic point of view. Is there an official policy how to deal with such issues? > > > On the contrary, libcerf complements glibc in providing a missing > > implementation.
