Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: f_phonet: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2020 17:23:03 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200211232303.GA21495@embeddedor> (raw)
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
inadvertenly introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
