The use of variable length arrays in structs (VLAIS) in the Linux Kernel code precludes the use of compilers which don't implement VLAIS (for instance the Clang compiler). The LLVMLinux Project is working towards the ability of providing the Linux kernel developer the choice of using the Clang compiler toolchain. This is a part of a series of patches which remove the use of VLAIS from crypto code, dm-crypt, jbd2, libcrc32c, netfilter, and usb gadget. Other patches to allow Clang to be used will follow.
