However, still the API is being changed due to
modification of OSMO_NUM_DLIB.
Well, `OSMO_NUM_DLIB` is a special value reflecting the total number of those global
l-categories. It would be weird if anyone expected this value to remain constant, and even
more weird if it's used anywhere else than in libosmocore.git.
Same applies to `_NUM_OSMO_ECU_CODECS`, `_OSMO_AUTH_ALG_NUM`, `_NUM_BTS_FEAT`, for
instance: their existence does not imply that new elements shall not be added.
In this specific case we could even remove it completely and let the compiler calculate
the size of `internal_cat[]` at compile-time for us.
it makes much more sense that each library dynamically
defines its own set of log categories which can be configured through API,
I don't have a strong opinion here. To me it's just another approach, without
`makes much more sense` or `totally correct`. It works for `libosmo-gprs` libs because so
far only one project using it (`osmo-{pcu,sgsn}` may also join this list later). But
it's inconvenient when multiple projects depend on a library and have to define the
same set of logging categories for it. This is likely the case for `libosmo-cc`:
`osmo-msc`, `osmocom-bb` [potentially], and 6 more repositories in
https://gitea.osmocom.org/cc.
So, all in all, I see nothing really special about this API change and would go for having
a global l-logging category here once (what this patch does), rather than having duplicate
definitions in each of those 6+ projects.
