I'm +1 on the sidefile approach. +0 on the various buffer approaches. -0.5 on the current "sprinkled everywhere" approach.

I concur with Antoine except that I'm a full -1 on commingling generated code with hand edited code. Sprinked everywhere interferes with my ability to grok the code. It interferes with code navigation. And it creates a greater risk of accidentally editing the generated code.

FWIW, I think everyone should place a lot of weight on Serhiy's comments and suggestions. His reasoning is clear and compelling. And the thoughts are all soundly based on extensive experience with the clinic's effect on the C source code.
