This is a tree-wide cleanup inspired by a Linux kernel commit (from Gustavo A. R. Silva). --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). The first patch is done with the help of a coccinelle semantic patch. However Coccinelle does not recognize: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; } QEMU_PACKED; but does recognize: struct QEMU_PACKED foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; I'm not sure why, neither it is worth refactoring all QEMU structures to use the attributes before the structure name, so I did the 2nd patch manually. Anyway this is annoying, because many structures are not handled by coccinelle. Maybe this needs to be reported to upstream coccinelle? I used spatch 1.0.8 with: -I include --include-headers \ --macro-file scripts/cocci-macro-file.h \ --keep-comments --indent 4 Regards, Phil.
