#     w1: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array
#     
#     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]
#     
#     sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
#     members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
#     which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
#     zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
#     some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
#     help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
#     
#     Notice that, currently, more than 250 of these patches have already
#     been merged into mainline during the last merge window, including
#     5.7-rc2. So, in order to make better use of everyone's time, I'm
#     planning to add this treewide patch to my -next tree and then send a
#     pull request to Linus for 5.7-rc3 or -rc4, after getting some acks
#     and/or reviews.
#     
#     This treewide patch has been successfully built (on top of v5.7-rc1) for
#     multiple architectures (arm, arm64, sparc, powerpc, ia64, s390, i386,
#     nios2, c6x, xtensa, openrisc, mips, parisc, x86_64, riscv, sh, sparc64)
#     and 82 different configurations with the help of the 0-day CI guys[5].
#     
#     This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
