You mean,

  https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/include/stdio.h?r1=299574&r2=303524

?

Yeah, i think bapt@ did the right thing there.  The getline(3)
function has been in POSIX for some time now, so it makes sense
to me that FreeBSD makes it available by default, too.

Old software that defined getline() to be something else should
adapt, and i guess most was changed by now, unless it has been
totally unmaintained for a decade.

So i think we agree that no change is needed in mandoc.

Yours,
  Ingo
