I doubt that this will be doable for string functions. Even newer additions to <string.h> will most likely have the size as the last element, if just for consistency with the existing APIs. And this issue is primarily a string issue, so it won't be solved. [.identifier] is more likely to help with this. Cheers, Alex > > -- > Joseph S.
