There's a -pedantic option there just for this. I'll move BUG_ON under it.
What's the consensus on the u32 thing, move that too, or drop completely?
Not answering your question directly, but FWIW: In day to day coding
and email, I strongly advocate the use of u8/u16/u32 over the C99
size-based types.
Simple, direct (read: easiest to review), and less typing.
