Myself, nothing ;-) Maybe Hugo Rabson had (he is the one who code that initially)
Myself, I even tend to create mr_* functions to encapsulate system calls to be more portable and to manage better this type of stuff.
But for now, I'm working mainly on suppressing all static allocation on th C code, and I've done that as time permits since 10 years now but there is still work to do.
And of course, fixing issues with new distros to support.
Bruno.
