--- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I was going to resolve this report as invalid on the basis that "empty struct"
could be interpreted to mean struct with no named members (there is no
definition of "empty struct" in C) but decided to confirm in the end because
GCC documents Empty Structs as structures with no members and zero size:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Empty-Structures.html

Rephrasing the error as

  flexible array member in a struct with no named members

would avoid the contradiction.
