[PATCH][next] Bluetooth: HCI: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members
Posted by Gustavo A. R. Silva 2 years, 8 months ago
Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1] and we are moving towards
adopting C99 flexible-array members instead. So, replace zero-length
arrays in a couple of structures with flex-array members.

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 [2].
