Subject: [RFC][PATCH] overflow: Twiddle with struct_size()
Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2025 14:43:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250305134315.GB16878@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net> (raw)
Hi Kees,
I keep getting hit by the struct_size() brigade, and I keep having
trouble reading that macro.
I had a wee poke and ended up with the below, WDYT?
(I also tried to create a __must_be_flex_array(), but utterly failed :/)
