Which wording would be more appropriate from the point of view in the syntax of the C programming language? >> * How long can such a structure member access chain become >> in interesting source codes? > > I guess as long as the greatest nesting depth of structures in the program. > If the program contains structures of recursive type, it ca have > any length. Can I prepare SmPL scripts to handle variations there? How are the chances to avoid the consideration and source code analysis around only a limited number of structure member accesses?
