Hello Sebastian and Gedare,
I cannot hold myself to not express my opinion there.

A mostly unrelated question: why do we have two different
_Semaphore_Get functions, one static in score/src/semaphore.c and the

Yes, this is a bit confusing. One is part of the Classic API, the other
is for the self-contained semaphores.
what is the reason to name these self-contained semaphores.
the name "self-contained" is used for objects which work with a user
supplied storage. For example:
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=blob;f=newlib/libc/sys/rtems/include/sys/lock.h;h=c261adf681e542af945969149f6533248eb06fd6;hb=HEAD
In contrast to the Classic and POSIX objects which work with a kernel
supplied storage which is accessed via the object identifier.
In the context of the Newlib <sys/lock.h> a "semaphore" is a counting
semaphore.
In case the name "self-contained" is confusing for this purpose, then I
am happy to replace it with a better alternative.
