The problem is if other libraries do the same thing, ie. put an strcasecmp in. I expect you get clashes that'd stop an application using certain combinations of libraries, or getting mis-detections of what's available where, etc. For namespace cleanliness any globally visible symbol in libguile really has to have an scm_ (or probably scm_i_) prefix. Is gnulib setup to help libraries with that? Nosing around it looks like perhaps not yet. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
