>Description:

None of the function types listed in the rbtree manual page have parameter 
names, which makes the function types difficult (and in some cases impossible) 
to read. In particular, rbto_compare_nodes_fn and rbto_compare_key_fn take 
three void pointers as parameters. Two of the void pointers for 
rbto_compare_key_fn are indistinguishable, but they are required to point to 
different types of objects. 

>How-To-Repeat:

Type "man rbtree". Then type "man memcmp" for a more informative manual page.

>Fix:

Just add some parameter names.
