Re: [PATCH 0/5] obstacks again

[Paul Eggert <eggert at cs dot ucla dot edu>]

Thanks for doing all this.  The gnulib patches are good as far as they go, but 
they need one more change: alignments should also change from int to size_t. 
The first attached gnulib patch does that, plus it fixes a longstanding integer 
overflow bug that can occur with large alignments (plus large sizes).  While 
we're in the neighborhood we should be using C11's alignof rather than 
reinventing that particular wheel; the second attached gnulib patch does that. 
I've installed your five gnulib patches plus the two attached patches into gnulib.

Two things for the glibc patch.  First, the updated gnulib patches need to be 
merged into the glibc patch.  Second, the manual needs to be updated to match 
the revised API induced by all these patches.

And thanks again.
