The Documentation/process/deprecated.rst suggests to use flexible array members to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.This makes code robust agains bunch of the issues described in the documentation, main of which is about the correctness of the sizeof() calculation for this data structure.
Due to above, prefer struct_size() over open-coded versions.
