Hmm, I consider this should use correct length of given array. Thus,
I'd like recommend you to do;
giving the size of fetch_type_table, or define *probe_fetch_type_table with
NR_FETCH_TYPES size, or introduce a gatekeeper, e.g. special terminator entry
for initializing.

For example, here if I see the NR_FETCH_TYPES in above [], I can ensure
the table has at least that size (and if there is a space, it will be
filled with zero, in that case, we just need to add a checking
fetch_type_table[i].name != NULL).

Thank you,
