+ for_each_string_list_item(item, &names) + generated_pack_install((struct generated_pack *)item->util,This cast should be unnecessary, right? `item->util` is a void pointer, so C should do the cast implicitly.It's unnecessary, but I dislike implicit casts from 'void*' to any other type. This makes it clearer how we're supposed to interpret the value in item->util, but I'm happy to change it to use the implicit cast if you feel strongly about it.
I think it's common practice to not have such an explicit cast in our code base. But in any case, I don't feel strongly about this. Patrick
