Shouldn't that be replaced by something that uses the new get_size()
functionality now implemented in patch 1?

For this data structure, I guess we better stay with a MAX constant.

For display functions, ie

values[i].format(...)
bl_values[j].format(...)

There is no id token being passed in. To use get_size(),  all format_xxx function prototype need to be redefined (by adding in id token).

I can submit a new patch if you agree my observations.

If we can't pass the size through all the way to make everything fully generic, I'd recommend:

a)

Name the field and MAX_BYES constant something more generic so it could be re-used for arbitrary fields, e.g. such as:

#define PARAM_TYPE_BINARY_DATA_MAX_SIZE 256

u_int8_t binary[PARAM_TYPE_BINARY_DATA_MAX_SIZE]

b)

When filling in that field, call get_size() at that point in time, and validate that the value is equal to sizeof(binary) or PARAM_TYPE_BINARY_DATA_MAX_SIZE. At least that way we'll have a check that the sizes do actually match.


Or, perhaps we can make the field:

struct {
    size_t len;
    u_int8_t data[PARAM_TYPE_BINARY_DATA_MAX_SIZE];
} binary;

... and hence pass the size around that way?
