The -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 option is now available with the release of GCC 13[1] and Clang 16[2]. This feature instructs the compiler to treat only C99 flexible arrays as dynamically sized for the purposes of object size calculations. In other words, the ancient practice of using 1-element arrays, or the GNU extension of using 0-sized arrays, as a dynamically sized array is disabled. This allows CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS, CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, and other object-size aware features to behave unambiguously in the face of trailing arrays: only C99 flexible arrays are considered to be dynamically sized. For yet more detail, see: https://people.kernel.org/kees/bounded-flexible-arrays-in-c Enabling this will help track down any outstanding cases of fake flexible arrays that need attention in kernel code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
