[Plib-users] Including string.h in library headers.

[David W. <dj...@ef...>]

Is there any reason why ssg.h and js.h don't include string.h themselves,
since(at least under recent Linux Distributions) it is needed to define
memcpy?

Pretty much the library expects you to define some functions that it uses
internally(and which you shouldn't need to worry about as a user), prior
to even including the library headers. 

Does anyone know if that would break out of the box compiles of the
library on any systems?

Nope - it's a simple oversight.

I'll fix it.

Since most main programs use <string.h> somewhere - and therefore include
it themselves, I doubt that anyone noticed this drop-off before.

Good catch!  Thanks.

No - it shouldn't.
