Thank you for the review! I will follow the common subject lines style 
in the future.

I compiled the test via gcc 11.3.0 without any custom options, the arch 
is x86_64. There were five warnings during the test compilation, and all 
of them were caused by incorrect format in 'snprintf' function calls. As 
I know, using incorrect format in 'snprintf' creates an undefined 
behavior. Maybe there is a point to fix it?
