Ok, I accept what you say. Anyway, I think it's a matter of preference ;) If I prepare a patch with the changes suggested by Kees to gain coverage of the __counted_by attribute, will it have a chance of being accepted? Are there any guidelines related to this attribute, such as in the case of the struct_size() helper? Regards, Erick
