I'm sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but in all the discussion of the 
infamous "struct hack", was it ever resolved if it was legal if the 
truncated array had type other than char?

E.g.

	struct vector {
		int length;
		double value[1];
	} *v;

	...

	v = malloc(sizeof(struct vector) + (n - 1) * sizeof(double));
	/* ignore possible malloc failure at my own peril 8^) */

	v->length = n;

	for ( i = 0;  i < v->length;  i++ )
		v->value[i] = 0.0;

	...

I can't think of a reason why it shouldn't be, but...

If not legal, what was the reasoning, and is there a way around the problem?

Thanks very much.
