--- Comment #16 from qinzhao at gcc dot gnu.org ---
additional work are needed in order to make this task complete:

1. add one more new gcc option:

-fstrict-flex-arrays

when it's on, only treat the following cases as flexing array:

trailing array with size 0;
trailing array with size 1;
trailing flexible array;

all other trailing arrays with size > 1 will be treated as normal arrays. 


2. there a lot of places in GCC that currently assume all trailing arrays as
flexible array, we might need to update all these places altogether to make GCC
behavior consistently. 

As I checked, most of the places used an old routine array_at_struct_end_p, we
might need to replace all the usage of "array_at_struct_end_p" with the new
option + the more strict checking on flexing trailing array. 

let me know if you have any comments and suggestions.
