Yep, I did consider that and arrived to a similar conclusion. Well, there's an option of using alloca as long as no use is in a loop, but that's a bit uglier, and as I recall it wasn't optimized to a static stack allocation. I forgot to ask before, shouldn't __procfdname_impl have a visibility annotation? And likewise for other internal functions. There are some internal functions without hidden/internal visibility annotation, visible outside of libc.so. That seems unintended and slightly harmful. Alexander
