misc: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible array member (automatic)
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 Coccinelle script:
@@
identifier s, m, a;
type t, T;
@@
struct s {
...
t m;
- T a[0];
+ T a[];
};
@@
identifier s, m, a;
type t, T;
@@
struct s {
...
t m;
- T a[0];
+ T a[];
} QEMU_PACKED;
