Subject: Re: Does ACL support field size of 8 bytes?


My concern was it is sort of awkward in terms of input_field value for rules 
with
8B long.

[idog] I'm always puzzled with the input_index field.
I just randomly group the small size fields (u8, u16) without any applicative 
meaning.
Feels like it's redundant in the API an can be done internally by the lib like 
you do now for u64
(though it'll be less trivial to do)


Yep agree, field_index and offset - seems enough,
other stuff can probably be figured out by analyzing these two fields.
Though as you said, it would require some extra effort.
