| |
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo { int stuff; void *entry[]; };
instance = alloc(sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(void *));
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = alloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count));
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
