------- Comment #30 from steven at gcc dot gnu dot org 2006-01-18 23:08 ------- We should at least avoid introducing a third variant of how we lay out these nasty zero-sized friends. People actually use them. For example Wine uses them to enforce compatible alignment and data layout with MS Windows datastructure. Wine has a bunch of #ifdefs spread around in its sources to make it work with the pre- and post-GCC 3.4 layout. Adding a third would drive those poor people nuts.
