I'm used to receive patches where contributors forget to add new files
to gitignore within my own projects, which may contribute to my awareness
of this pain point. :)

The goal of those compiler define are to generate the altered code without
adding branches into the fast-paths.
Here is an alternative solution that should take care of your concern: I'll
build multiple targets for param_test.c:
param_test
param_test_skip_fastpath (built with -DSKIP_FASTPATH)
param_test_benchmark (build with -DBENCHMARK)
I'll update run_param_test.sh to run both param_test and param_test_skip_fastpath.
Note that "param_test_benchmark" is only useful for benchmarking,
so I don't plan to run it from run_param_test.sh which is meant
to track regressions.
Is that approach OK with you ?
Thanks,
Mathieu

Use the data type "sig_atomic_t" for the variable "done"
so that it can be safely modified by a signal handler.

Hello,
Static source code analysis points out that the checking of return values from
some function calls is incomplete also in this software area.
How would you like to fix remaining open issues there?
Regards,
Markus
