This library package calls exit() or _exit(), probably in a non-fork()
context. Doing so from a library is strongly discouraged - when a library
function calls exit(), it prevents the calling program from handling the
error, reporting it to the user, closing files properly, and cleaning up any
state that the program has. It is preferred for the library to return an
actual error code and let the calling program decide how to handle the
situation.

Although lt__alloc.c contains a definition of lt__alloc_die
(alloc_die_default) which does exit() on memory allocation failures,
this definition is overridden with one that does not in lt_dlinit.

Can this definition be removed?

I don't see why.


I hope it is a typo for lt_alloc_die?  Double underscores are restricted to 
compiler intrinsics and internal symbols of the run-time library, aren’t they?


As far as I am aware this restriction is for leading underscores, at least for C.
