In a previous article (now expired at my site), I asked if the
notorious "struct hack" was still conformant if the tail array in the
struct was of type other than char.  Since no-one ever replied, I'll
ask one more time.

My reading of the earlier thread on this topic was that the hack was
indeed legal, but all the previous examples used an array of char in
their examples.  Thus, is there any reason it would not be legal to 
declare:

	struct vector {
		int  size;
		double v[1];
	} *vec;

and then code (for example):

	vec = malloc(sizeof(struct vector) + (n - 1) * sizeof(double));
	vec->size = n;

	for ( i = 0;  i < vec->size;  i++ )  vec->v[i] = 0.0;

Thanks again for your time and assistance.
