The situation is even more nasty - the one sized fake flex-array actually is in the middle of the structure. Besides sizeof-expressions taking the one member array into account only members before the variable sized array are used. I've started a series cleaning up the few structures that were done that way (for whatever reason), but it's pretty intrusive. I don't think papering over these warnings at this point is a good idea. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
