So what i was wringling all along was the comment. I don't know why i couldn't spot it
if those two lines where commented out then even boot was supposed to fail on my side too.
I guess toolchain difference. Probably this is the reason since i compiled with gcc not clang.
Thanks though. :)

I used it, well the tool seems broken and giving me false positive. I fixed all your suggestions and sent
v5, as my best i could, i fixed all issues and that patch seems good.
Could you please check it?
