Perfect! I went to go look, and yes, this is good:
/* Define a variable length array (depends on compiler). */
#if defined(__STDC_VERSION__) && __STDC_VERSION__ >= 199901L
#define XEN_FLEX_ARRAY_DIM
#elif defined(__GNUC__)
#define XEN_FLEX_ARRAY_DIM 0
#else
#define XEN_FLEX_ARRAY_DIM 1 /* variable size */
#endif
Be careful, of course, going from [1] to [], if anything is using
sizeof() on the structure.
Thanks for fixing this!
