Hi Huang,
Run time check is better than nothing but I think in this case it would
be better if we can catch it at compile time.
One of the methods will be to write a small program of your own and
put in script/ and at build time check for the size and flag error. May
be there are other better ways to do this.
Thanks
Vivek
