Well, can you download the above code and compile a parted based on it ? I
guess then you need to create a small hfs+ journaled partition, and resizie
it, and verify that the data on it still becomes available. Using md5sum and
such.on all files of the pre-and-post-resize filesystem, both under linux and
hfs+. You could probably even do a :

  for file in `find /path/to/journaled/hfs+/partition -type f`; do md5sum $file >> md5sum.txt; done

And after the resize you test it with :

  md5sum -c md5sum.txt
