[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] misc: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible array member (manual)



Description copied from Linux kernel commit from Gustavo A. R. Silva
(see [3]):

--v-- description start --v--

  The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
  extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to
  declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible
  array member [1], introduced in C99:

  struct foo {
      int stuff;
      struct boo array[];
  };

  By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler
  warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the
  structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined
  behavior bugs from being unadvertenly introduced [2] to the
  Linux codebase from now on.

--^-- description end --^--

Do the similar housekeeping in the QEMU codebase (which uses
C99 since commit 7be41675f7cb).

All these instances of code were found with the help of the
following command (then manual analysis, without modifying
structures only having a single flexible array member, such
QEDTable in block/qed.h):

  git grep -F '[0];'
