I am curious on how our different views could be clarified further for this special software situation. * Do we agree that a proper size determination is essential for every condition in the discussed SmPL rules together with forwarding this information? * How can a name be ever relevant (within the published SmPL approach) for a function when it was designed in the way that it should generally work without a size parameter?
