That doesn't look right at all, lParam is not at the end of the
structure. And the variable-size info should really be a byte array or
something similar, not an LPARAM.

Mybad, fixed in updated patch sent to wine-patches.

It makes no difference; hardly anyone changes the the extra space and
by default it's declared as an LPARAM in the TCITEM struct. If I
declare it as BYTE[1] we still need to subtract its size and add in
cBytes so the TAB_ITEM_SIZE() macros is still needed. And the default
initialisation will still use sizeof(LPARAM) anyway.

Cheers,

It makes a big difference in code readability. It's pretty clear that
a BYTE[1] array is a variable size thing; nobody expects an LPARAM to
be variable size. Yes, Microsoft got it wrong in TCITEM, but that's
not a reason to make the same mistake in our internal structures.

I disagree, but for two lines of code, who cares. I've sent a new
version to wine-patches.

Cheers,

I agree with Alexandre.  Putting char buffer[1] at the end of a structure is a 
standard technique for expandable structures.
