gcc is trying to be helpful, and it's not far from being right. It _looks_ like
sizeof(char*) is an error, but in this case we're really leaving a space empty
for a pointer, and our calculation is correct. Since this is a short file,
let's just use simplest option and turn off the warning above the two functions
that trigger it.
