Hello Martin!

I am not the one making those comments. I don't have enough C expertise
to neither confirm or deny them. But that also makes me unable to answer to
the
author of the comments in the proper way. I intended to receive something to
correct his (incorect?) opinion.

In any case, thanks.

Best regards,
