Hi, libwayland is written in C, so std::list etc. being C++ features are not available. The implementations are so tiny that it does not benefit much to put them into a separate library, nor pull in an additional dependency for them either. The implementations are also of a particular flavour - there are many ways to implement a linked list, with different characteristics. Thanks, pq
