Variable Length Arrays in Structs

Explore the intricacies of Variable Length Arrays in Structs (VLAIS) in this 20-minute conference talk from the Linux Plumbers Conference. Delve into the gcc extension used sparingly in the Linux Kernel and understand why clang, despite supporting Variable Length Arrays (VLA), doesn't support VLAIS due to C standard restrictions. Examine the challenges associated with VLAIS, discover potential alternatives, and participate in the discussion on strategies to eliminate VLAIS usage from the Linux Kernel. Gain valuable insights from speakers M. Charlebois of Qualcomm and B. Webster as they address this crucial topic in kernel development.
