I find the slist/dlist stuff actually quite difficult to get right compared to a hand-rolled linked list. But the really big problem is that the debugger can't do anything useful with it. You have to work out the structure-member offset in order to walk the list and manually cast to char *, adjust the pointer, and cast back.
