I don't know for sure, but the amount of the includes suggests some may
be unnecessary

I don't think the forward-declaration is necessary

That's one complex for-loop! Maybe move the assignments into the loop body

Unnecessary parentheses, also in some other places

You can do aux_ptr = { } at declaration
