So.. the Bluetooth specification defines that the Maximum Encryption Key Size shall be in the range 7 to 16 octets. Which is also reflected in these defines: #define SMP_MIN_ENC_KEY_SIZE 7 #define SMP_MAX_ENC_KEY_SIZE 16 So it is buf[4] since we know it never gets larger than 16. So even in this case the warning is bogus. I have no problem in increasing it to buf[5] to shut up the compiler, but that is what I would be doing here.

And since we were using snprintf, I saw no point in trying to please gcc with a larger buffer.
