    Phoronix: Linus Rejects "Size Of Member" Change From Linux 5.5 Kernel

    This weekend was the last-minute pull request by Google's Kees Cook to introduce the new sizeof_member() macro that had been previously rejected from Linux 5.4. Well, it was again rejected by Linus Torvalds prior to tagging the Linux 5.5-rc1 kernel...

    Maybe Linus has a small member, so he feels unconfortable with that name... that would explain also why he's inclined to use fingers...

    Just joking .

          Notable is how that Google employee is trying to "sneak it in" by last minute pull-requests..

            Google is trying to measure the size of it's business' member, that very typical of them.
