> Py_ssize_t ob_array[1] Py_VARIABLE_SIZE; /* Looks weird and confusing */ Yes, I dislike that, too. The question is why gcc has supported the "struct hack" for more than 20 years but needs an annotation just for MPX. Is the annotation also needed for the C99 version (ob_array[])? Which brings me again to the topic that the MPX support needs to stabilize in gcc. ;)
