One small nit. Move this macro definition into the function itself,
right above the macro usage. That way it will be much easier to review
in the future, as people don't need to go search for VERIFY_SIZE(). It
will be right there with the usage. The aesthetics may be a bit off, but
at least the code will be obvious at first glance at what is happening,
and I think that's more important than the "look" of the code.

Also, it will be obvious that the variable name must match the field
name.

Thanks,
