I don't think that would be an improvement, given that the code is using hard-coded offsets. If it's reading 4 bytes from cur + 8, it's much easier to understand that it needs 12 bytes than 'sizeof(struct tpm_header)' bytes. I'd certainly encourage whoever is maintaining this code to change it to use structs instead, but that's not what this patch is meant to do. - Eric
