    SubjectRe: [RFC v2 1/7] hashtable: introduce a small and naive hashtable
    Hello,

    So, if you do the following,

    struct {
    struct {
    int i;
    long ar[];
    } B;
    long __ar_storage[32];
    } A;

    It should always be safe to dereference A.B.ar[31]. I'm not sure
    whether this is something guaranteed by C tho. Maybe compilers are
    allowed to put members in reverse order but I think we already depend
    on the above.

    Thanks.
