At least I don't know how much they will be. If the user wants to do crazy
things... :) I'm currently hacking on a store_n implementation, perhaps I'll
be able to show some code tomorrow.
I do not think you shoudl allow user do crazy things. The memory is
kmalloced so there naturally a limit on number of attrinutes that can
be created. And I am not sure abot usefulness of resizing form
usespace.
Could you give me an example of a user who needs dynamic attribute arrays?
