This code:
class foo {
int bar[] = {111, 123};

class foo {
int bar[2] = {111, 123};
};

The fact that a struct with a flexible array member is a type with which a variable can be declared and to which sizeof can be applied leads to an unusual behavior in the following program.

In C99, you can declare a flexible array member of a struct as such:
struct blah
{
int foo[];
};
However, when someone here at work tried to compile some code using clang in C++, that syntax di...

In C99, flexible array members (of a structure) and variable length arrays were mandatory parts of the standard — conforming C99 compilers (implementations) have to support them both.
In C11, an i...

Given
struct Foo {
uint32_t a;
uint32_t b[];
};
What is sizeof(Foo)? Is it implementation-defined or undefined behaviour? Does the answer differ for C vs C++?
