I was reading the FAQ this afternoon when this question caught my
attention:
2.6: I came across some code that declared a structure with the last
member an array of one element, and then did some tricky
allocation to make it act like the array had several elements.
Is this legal or portable?
A: An official interpretation has deemed that it is not strictly
conforming with the C Standard.
I have done this for nearly as long as I have been writing C. Is
there another method to use for this?
