Subject: Another question about inconsistent deque object
Date: Thursday, 02 Apr 2020, 15:38:30

Earlier, in response to a question about how to detect an inconsistent deque object, you said " That depends on what struct you are using internally. For example, if it has a field whose value should be a "magic cookie" but is not, then you know that the argument is invalid." Could you explain what you mean by a "magic cookie"?

Thanks
