In gl_list.h, there are 3 pointer types (some with 'const') and 1 non-pointer type. The typedefs are there to simplify the API for the programmer. Whereas in string-buffer.h, there is 1 type: 'struct string_buffer'. A typedef would not make the API simpler to remember. Like with obstack.h, which has 'struct obstack' as the only publicly visible type. A typedef would not make it simpler here either. Bruno
