Please explain. Under which exact conditions would sizeof(name) not
be 8, and where is such assumption supported in ANSI C?
I am tempted to NAK the FAT changes, as they make the code much harder
to read and to maintain.
Using this simple test program:
----- snip ----
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
const char name[8];
const char ext[3];
printf("sizeof(name)=%d, expected 8\n", sizeof(name));
printf("sizeof(ext) =%d, expected 3\n", sizeof(name));
return 0;
}
----- snip ----
I get the expected values on all systems and with all compilers I
tested. For which exact configuration do you get different results?

Please restrict your line length in commit messages to some 70

Please split into three separate patches, one for MMX, and two for
FAT, one for each problem. And make sure to add the MMC custodian
on Cc:
