Synopsis: [ABI] Empty structs have zero size in C, but not in C++
State-Changed-From-To: analyzed->closed
State-Changed-By: rth
State-Changed-When: Tue Apr 1 19:32:57 2003
State-Changed-Why:
Not a bug.
Empty structs in C are a GCC extension, and were defined a long
time ago to be defined as empty size.
Empty structs in C++ are defined by ISO to be size one.
"Don't do that."
