Subject: [PATCH][next] rxrpc: Replace fake flex-array with flexible-array member
Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2023 14:57:59 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZAZT11n4q5bBttW0@work> (raw)

Zero-length arrays as fake flexible arrays are deprecated and we are
moving towards adopting C99 flexible-array members instead.

Transform zero-length array into flexible-array member in struct
rxrpc_ackpacket.

Address the following warnings found with GCC-13 and
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 enabled:
net/rxrpc/call_event.c:149:38: warning: array subscript i is outside array bounds of ‘uint8_t[0]’ {aka ‘unsigned char[]’} [-Warray-bounds=]

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [1].
