+libasn1c - shared library of asn1c runtime
+==========================================
+
+This repository contains a shared library built from the asn1c runtime files.
+
+Normally, the upstream asn1c copies an identical set of source code files into each and
every project using
+asn1c. 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).
+
