wifi: p54: Replace zero-length array of trailing structs with flex-array Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1] and are being replaced with flexible array members in support of the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy(), correctly instrument array indexing with UBSAN_BOUNDS, and to globally enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3. Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member. This results in no differences in binary output (most especially because struct pda_antenna_gain is unused). The struct is kept for future reference. [1] https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/78 Cc: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Cc: Kalle Valo <kvalo@kernel.org> Cc: "David S.

p54: 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.
