Re: What to do about gnulib libio dependencies?

gnulib has a few modules which touch libio internals which aren't really exported:

fbufmode
freadahead
freadptr
freadseek
fseterr

This is a problem because it is not apparent from the glibc sources that the implementation details used by these functions are actually used externally.

Should we just add these functions to glibc?  In some cases, the interactions with wide oriented streams could be problematic.


i think it's better to define them in glibc.

gnulib already checks if these functions are provided by the libc:
