This function, in its current implementation, always returns a
negative value. The issue lies in the calculation: src represents
the original number of elements, while datum->n indicates the new
number of elements. Since datum->n is always greater than or equal
to src, reversing their order resolves the problem, ensuring the
function consistently returns a positive value.

It’s worth noting that the return value is not currently utilized
in any of the function's use cases
