#     xattr.h: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member
#     
#     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
#     inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
#     
#     Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
#     this change:
#     
#     "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
#     may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
#     zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
#     
#     This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
