Hi, Martin, I didn’t go through all the details of your patch.
But I have one question: Did you consider the effect of the option -fstrict-flex-array (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-14.2.0/gcc/C-Dialect-Options.html#index-fstrict-flex-arrays) on how gcc treats the zero size trailing array, 1-element trailing array as flexible array member in the patch? thanks.
