	The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array
member[1][2], introduced in C99:
struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in
case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will
help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this
change:
 "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
  may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
  zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero." [1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
