Subject: Re: c++/10208: [ABI] Empty structs have zero size in C, but not in C++
X-SW-Source: 2003-04/txt/msg00029.txt.bz2
List-Id: <gcc-prs.sourceware.org>

Synopsis: [ABI] Empty structs have zero size in C, but not in C++

State-Changed-From-To: analyzed->closed
State-Changed-By: rth
State-Changed-When: Tue Apr  1 19:32:57 2003
State-Changed-Why:
    Not a bug.
    
    Empty structs in C are a GCC extension, and were defined a long
    time ago to be defined as empty size.
    
    Empty structs in C++ are defined by ISO to be size one.
    
    "Don't do that."
