Firstly, the code fragments which you quote appear to be part of the MfD framework, which is nothing to do with me. So I don't claim to have any great knowledge or understanding of this code. But it appears as if these checks are simply ensuring that a given index field buffer exists (and has sufficient space) before copying a value into it. Without such checks, it's potentially possible for a memory problem or corrupt request to end up crashing the agent. While I don't particularly like the MfD code, I fail to see what the problem is that you are complaining about here. > Hope this will updated in next release of code. I very much doubt it. Unless you can show good reason why such validation checks should be removed.
