@klardotsh@merveilles.town @josch@floss.social @whitequark@mastodon.social I find it somewhat readable, sure short variable names but strncmp is doomed to be like that.
The `unsigned char` cast is interesting, not sure what it's for and I guess could use a comment but it's not really worrying.
The printf functions in musl are more annoying to read and I think dalias has made them more readable recently.
Meanwhile glibc it's:
\- layers and layers of macros for even trivial functions, making it a pain to debug;
\- dangerous features like `ifunc` and `nsswitch.conf` (dynamically loading authentication libraries is a hard no for me);
\- ld.so having all kinds of questionable features making it a source of exploits for setuid binaries;
\- python and perl as build dependencies, making it a \**very*\* long adventure to bootstrap from full-source;
