      I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you call “GNU Library C” is actually GNU with Linux library C and some C++ for those nifty templates, or as we like to call it “GNU/Linux Library C/C++”. Which, to be honest, it’s more like “GNU/Linux Library C/C-with-Classes” the way they’re teaching it at school, oh well.

      Carry on.

        I was, it seems, too subtle. I don’t call it “GNU Library C”. Nobody does. I call it the “GNU C library”. It’s weird that the author calls it that.

          Aaaaaand I somehow missed that.

          Then again, wouldn’t have changed much. I’d just infodumped you on the GNU/Linux C Library, or as we sometimes call it the GNU plus Linux C library with macros.

            Not the only one it seems - that’s on me.

            GNU plus Linux C library with macros.
