Hi Mark,

Nice to hear from you again; on Saturday LOT's dreamliner was not
grounded and I have safely returned home ;)

Please see my comments inline.

most likely this shoud read:

+	size_t structname##_##name##__##sz = (n) * sizeof(type); \

otherwise vla_item(....., lang_count + 1); will expand to:

size_t d_stringtabs__sz = lang_count + \
	1 * sizeof(struct usb_gadget_strings *);

<snip>

  		unsigned i = 0;
+		vla_struct(d);
+		vla_item(d, struct usb_gadget_strings *, stringtabs,
+			lang_count + 1);

Can you somehow avoid mixing code and declarations? The last thing in
the  expansion of this vla_item(.......) is an assignment, and

+		vla_item(d, struct usb_gadget_strings, stringtab, lang_count);

the first thing in expansion of the next vla_item(.......) is a
declaration. GCC most likely will complain (issue a warning).

One solution I can think of here (a bit hackish) is to use a braced
group as an expression: define vla_item() in such a way that first
it declares e.g. d_stringtabs__offset, then d_stringtabs__sz, and
then

struct usb_gadget_strings **d_stringtabs =
	({d__next = d_stringtabs__offset + d_stringtabs__sz; NULL;});

I am not a fan of this kind of style, but can't think of any better way
now. And I don't know what Clang thinks of it :O

Thanks,

AP
