Talk:Obstack

Untitled
This article seems overly generic to me. As far as I can tell, the only implementation of "obstacks" is the one from the GNU project. I've never heard of an "obstack" outside of the context of the type provided by GNU.

It's not clear that this article should even exist. In any case, it seems like it should be made more specific to be clear that this a concept from GNU libiberty, instead of giving the impression that this is a generic computer science concept. Perhaps this should just be a section in Stack (data structure) or Stack-based memory allocation, with a suitable redirect.

I'll mull over this and in the meantime give anyone interested a chance to object.

I agree that need for a standalone article is rather questionable, (but too lazy to change that at the moment). Besides, many sentences are just copy-pasted from the GNU libc manual. Torsti (talk) 09:40, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Subject matter lacks noteworthiness
This is just some particular project's name for a particular data structure.

It seems very similar to the mark-release memory model (which seems worthy of an article).

What obstacks are and their API is adequately covered in GNU documentation.

This Wikipedia page comes up in search engines when you're searching for "obstacks" but contains inferior information compared to the real documentation. Thus it is a form of search engine spam.
