We have code like `size_t max_size = sizeof(*private)` in three places. This is evaluated at compile time so its safe to use. However the new pointer-deref checker in coccinelle is not smart enough to know this and will flag those as errors. To avoid these false positives we have some options: 1. Reorder so that we do: ```C size_t max_size = 0; assert(private); max_size = sizeof(*private); ``` 2. Use something like `size_t max_size = sizeof(*ASSERT_PTR(private));` 3. Place the assert before the declaration 4. Workaround coccinelle via SIZEOF(*private) that we can then hide via parsing_hacks.h 5. Fix coccinelle (OCaml, hard) 6. ... somehting I missed? None of these is very appealing. I went for (4) but happy about suggestions.
