This becomes problematic if a single program uses multiple different ASN.1 specifications, where then +those source files would clash. + +Let's instead move those runtime files into a shared library (*libasn1c*), which is then linked once by each program +needing it, no matter how many asn1c-generated specifications/syntax it uses. + +**The version of the asn1c compiler must match the version of libasn1c**. We are using this shared library in +combination with the [osmocom fork of asn1c](https://gitea.osmocom.org/osmocom/asn1c). + + +GIT Repository +-------------- + +You can clone from the official libosmocore.git repository using + + git clone https://gitea.osmocom.org/cellular-infrastructure/libasn1c + +There is a web interface at + + +Mailing List +------------ + +Discussions related to libasn1c are happening on the +openbsc@lists.osmocom.org mailing list, please see + for subscription +options and the list archive. + +Please observe the [Osmocom Mailing List +Rules](https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Mailing_List_Rules) +when posting. -- cgit v1.2.3
