static not needed with const now that this is local to the function,
not a big deal though.

Man, this happens too much ,time to update HACKING.
Bad:
    2*size+1
Good:
    2 * size + 1

We like spaces around here, so please use them in all places in this
patch you are using operators- this should have been clear from the
code you removed (e.g., "pos + 1").

Space after comma too...
