> are those defintiions from the protocol spec, or are they osmocom specific? […]
of course 3GPP spec as the doxygen file comment indicates

I thought not using an OSMO_ prefix is deprecated legacy style??
I assumed it's about keeping a sane namespace rather than indicating who invented it.
What if some other library also decides to implement BSSLAP coding and uses the same names?

I can easily move this to protocol/ but do i really have to rename *everything*? :(

PS1, Line 71: 
> why spaces in all these structs?
the blank line separates the actual coded elements from the flag indicating future additions.
the more_items flag doesn't get encoded, it simply indicates to a future user that the struct has more elements that were added in a later version of libosmocore (which we don't need yet)

yes of course

PS1, Line 183: #define PARSE_ERR(errmsg) \

it allows me to not repeat "Decoding BSSLAP TA Response: " all over the place,
and that then again allows me to copy-paste parsing error messages from other _dec_ functions without forgetting to adjust the message type name as well.

Hm, duplicating ';', right.

no problems at all. I wrote verify_value_string_arrays_are_terminated.py myself
