The legend talks about "untestable functions", and indeed the coloring of the functions is related to the amount of testing that is needed to get a reasonable coverage of their operations. We see near the top function module VASNPRINTF vasnprintf mem_cd_iconveh_internal striconveh re_search_internal regex context::diag diffseq strtod strtod and indeed these modules require a large testsuite. regex doesn't have a testsuite in gnulib, because we profit from glibc's testing. diffseq should better have a test as well, because GNU diff has no unit tests at all. However, the tool exaggerates the amount of testing needed for functions that have different implementations on different platforms, like function module implementations create_pipe pipe 3 qcopy_acl acl 7 execute execute 3 qset_acl acl 7 getloadavg getloadavg 15 Bruno
