Only the decrease in heap size is significant enough to discuss. The
others are noise
when considered in light of the source transparency we aimed for.

This guideline which is intended to increase compatibility and lower
long-term
maintenance is at odds with this set of patches.
It would be really nice if you could review the patch set in detail
before you write something like this. Did you ever update a FreeBSD
baseline in one of the libbsd branches? It is also a nice exercise to
step through for example sendto() from the file descriptor until you get
the socket object.
I will definitely not ship the FreeBSD file descriptors to our
customers. As I said before, the current state prevents an update of the
FreeBSD baseline from my side. Since you are so concerned about the
long-term maintenance, what are your plans for a FreeBSD baseline update
of the 6-freebsd-12 branch? The last update was:
commit 46b3858b27d78e14a220f8d251fd7ab28a5244f4
Author: Sebastian Huber <sebastian.hu...@embedded-brains.de>
Date: Mon Feb 10 15:34:55 2020 +0100
Update to FreeBSD stable/12 2020-02-10
Git mirror commit 0d1c391321b34b3025cf0e72f2231d836ff76da8.
This is now more than two years ago and there are a couple of security
fixes available in the FreeBSD 12 release branch which we do not provide
in libbsd.
