Wiki Markup
This compliant solution defines the acceptable range for {{length}} as {{\[1, MAX_TABLE_LENGTH\]}}. The {{length}} parameter is declared as {{size_t}}, which is unsigned by definition. Consequently, it is not necessary to check {{length}} for negative values (see \[[INT01-A. Use rsize_t or size_t for all integer values representing the lengthsize of an object]\]).

Code Block
bgColor#ccccff
enum { MAX_TABLE_LENGTH = 256 };

int create_table(size_t length) {
  size_t table_length;
  char **table;

  if (length == 0 || length > MAX_TABLE_LENGTH) {
    /* Handle invalid length */
  }

  /*
   * The wrap check has been omitted based on the assumption that
   * MAX_TABLE_LENGTH * sizeof(char *) cannot exceed SIZE_MAX
   * If this assumption is not valid, a check must be added
   */
  assert(length <= SIZE_MAX/sizeof(char *));

  table_length = length * sizeof(char *);

  table = (char **)malloc(table_length);
  if (table == NULL) {
    /* Handle error condition */
  }
  /* ... */
  return 0;
