	libpkix was auto-translated from Java to C. It attempts to implement Java's exception semantics in C. It makes liberal use of unclear macros (e.g. https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss/annotate/5d9f8b809e6f7020529ba1345b64e36f61994c8d/lib/libpkix/pkix/util/pkix_tools.h#l67 ). A source-line-counting tool clocks it in at 45,000 lines of code (the code is here: https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss/file/tip/lib/libpkix ). There are known bugs in the implementation~~. No one who works on it wants to continue working on it~~.		libpkix was auto-translated from Java to C. It attempts to implement Java's exception semantics in C.
