Subject: Antw: [EXT] [PATCH] scsi: Replace zero-length array with
flexible-array member
Hi!
Personally I think variable-sized structures are a bad thing, independent of the syntax being used.
30 years ago saving one indirection would have been an argument for such structures, but nowadays?
Regards,
Ulrich
