In this if the 'else' block is very short. 'if' block is much longer.
Swapping of them will improve readability.

And as another rule, locally used struct (and also defines) go to the C

Honestly, I can find nothing wrong in void * arithmetic. The
alternatives like casting to/from unsigned long are much worse.

I don't care much. If anything, I would say that positive logic is
easier to read.
