while cleaning this function, would you rename tmp with ret?

and please drop this tab between u8 and *id

Also, IMO, the definition of variables should be done with the focus of 
avoiding stack padding. With this in mind, I would first define the pointers 
and then the ints and smaller types. But there are others than prefer defining 
the variables in a tree/reverse-tree way, depending of the length of the line. 
There's no agreement on this, either way if fine, do as you prefer.

Looks good,
