Hi all,

in /mm/slab.c we can find around line 263 :

struct array_cache {
 unsigned int avail;
 unsigned int limit;
 unsigned int batchcount;
 unsigned int touched;
 spinlock_t lock;
 void *entry[0];  /*
     * Must have this definition in here for the proper
     * alignment of array_cache. Also simplifies accessing
     * the entries.
     * [0] is for gcc 2.95. It should really be [].
     */
};

The last line of the comment seems outdated, so maybe it could be removed
and the [0] turned into [] as suggested which is IMO a bit clearer.

As far as I know (/Documentation/Changes), 2.95 is no more the reference
when building the kernel.

As I have actually no way to compile the kernel, I just point it out in case
someone wants to give it a try.

CJ
