Subject: [ndctl PATCH] ndctl/lib: move nd_cmd_pkg with a flex array to end of structures
Date: Mon,  5 Jan 2026 19:52:04 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106035209.322010-1-alison.schofield@intel.com> (raw)

Placing nd_cmd_pkg anywhere but at the end of a structure can lead to
undefined behavior for the flex array member. Move nd_cmd_pkg to the
end of all affected structures.

Reproduce using Clang:
~/git/ndctl$ rm -rf build
~/git/ndctl$ CC=clang meson setup build
~/git/ndctl$ meson compile -C build

../ndctl/lib/hpe1.h:324:20: warning: field 'gen' with variable sized type 'struct nd_cmd_pkg' not at the end of a struct or class is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end]

Reported-by: Cristian Rodriguez <yo@cristianrodriguez.net>
Closes: https://github.com/pmem/ndctl/issues/296
