If there's a good reason not it, please put it in the commit log. > Because KSYM_NAME_LEN_BUFFER is used as a string by stringify() in fscanf(), defining it as (KSYM_NAME_LEN * 4) will produce a string "128 * 4" after stringify() and that doesn't work with fscanf(). Miguel, maybe we can add something below in the commit log? `KSYM_NAME_LEN_BUFFER` cannot be defined as an expression, because it gets stringified in the fscanf() format. Therefore a _Static_assert() is needed. Thoughts? Regards, Boqun > -Kees > > -- > Kees Cook
