Subject: [PATCH] amba: tegra-ahb: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2020 15:02:13 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200211210213.GA28043@embeddedor> (raw)

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][2],
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
inadvertenly introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
