See my comments on http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/openbsc/2015-July/000315.html

Those don't seem to have been addresses here.

File src/viterbi.c:

Line 14:  * Lesser General Public License for more details.
> Does this license compatible with libosmocore?
It'd be better to get the original author permission to relicense it to the same one if possible.


Line 326: 	trellis = (struct vtrellis *) calloc(1, sizeof(struct vtrellis));
> Here we can use the static allocation too.
Nope ... treillis is returned to the caller and the library has to support several callers at onces from different threads, there can be _NO_ shared global objects.


PS4, Line 426: if (dec->recursive)
             : 		_traceback_rec(dec, state, out, len);
             : 	else
             : 		_traceback(dec, state, out, len);
> What to do with "_"?
As long as the naming is consistent within a file, it's fine for static function.


Line 457: 	dec = (struct vdecoder *) calloc(1, sizeof(struct vdecoder));
> I suggest to use static memory allocation here. One can be declared inside 
Again, you can't have global static objects ... ever.
