Hi,
This is the 2nd version of the patch.
Comparing to the 1st version, the only change is to address Richard's
comment on refering a warning option for diagnosing deprecated behavior.
Okay for committing?
thanks.

<h2>Caveats</h2>
<ul>
- <li>...</li>
+ <li><strong>C:</strong>
+ Support for the GCC extension, a structure containing a C99 flexible array
+ member, or a union containing such a structure, is not the last field of
+ another structure, is deprecated. Refer to
+ <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Zero-Length.html">
+ Zero Length Arrays</a>.
+ Any code relying on this extension should be modifed to ensure that
+ C99 flexible array members only end up at the ends of structures.
+ Please use the warning option
+ <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html#index-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end"><code>-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end</code></a> to
+ identify all such cases in the source code and modify them.
