Well they *are* making their own versions of those two macros. I'd already read the ostensible rationale for it, and it seemed poor.

They have a problem with their own code's headers having lots of cross-dependencies. (Strong coupling and low cohesion: a long-standing #systemd problem.) That's not a reason for fiddling with the #StandardC library, let alone making one's own FILE and DIR macros.

I understood Daniel J. Bernstein's avoidance of the Standard C library, especially strings and standard I/O which had been rife with pointer mis-uses for decades.

But this is not that.

Why on Earth would one continue to use stdio but roll one's own version of the GNU C library's FILE and DIR macros?
