Flexible array members

Flexible array members

The last member of a struct can have an incomplete array type. The last member must not be the only member of the struct, otherwise the struct is zero in size.

Show/hideExample

typedef struct
{
    int len;
    char p[]; // incomplete array type, for use in a malloc’d data structure
} str;
