gcc complains dynlist.c:1537: warning: 'dlml' may be used uninitialized in this function Looks like its declaration at least should be moved outside the loop below and it should be initialized to something. This is the complete use of dlml:

for ( ... ) {
	dynlist_map_t *dlml;
	if ( dlm == NULL ) {
		dlml = NULL;
	}
	if ( dlml != NULL )
		dlml->dlm_next = dlmp;
	dlml = dlmp;
}

Not even sure about what that piece of code is supposed to do...

Indeed. It has no visible effect; an optimizer would just elide the entire block.
