I am now prepared a set of 14 sizeof patches (should it be one issue or 14 individual issues in bugtracker?), and I feel a great desire not to write tests at all. Without tests how can you have any confidence the patches are correct (or will continue to be correct)?
Tests may not provide this. If we add a new dynamically allocated data or change the size of the old and forgot to reflect this in sizeof, then non modified tests not notice this. sizeof returns 42. What is 42?
