very suitable for my "visual processing system", I know the same applies

Yeah, well, but why even invoke that "visual processing system"?

If you look, for example, at the __skb_clone function it just uses a
macro:

#define C(x) n->x = skb->x

This requires fixed names so I generally prefer to add them:

#define C(d, s, f) (d)->f = (s)->f

and then

C(len);
C(data_len);

C(acx, conf, window_size);
C(acx, conf, increase_time);
