97  * __TRAILING_OVERLAP() - Overlap a flexible-array member with trailing
98  *			  members.
99  *
100  * Creates a union between a flexible-array member (FAM) in a struct and a set
101  * of additional members that would otherwise follow it.
102  *
103  * Beware that, as this helper encloses TYPE NAME and MEMBERS in the same
104  * union, designated initializers for MEMBERS may overwrite portions
105  * previously initialized through NAME.
106  *
107  * For example::
108  *
109  *	struct flex {
110  *		size_t count;
111  *		u8 fam[];
112  *	};
113  *
114  *	struct composite {
115  *		...
116  *		__TRAILING_OVERLAP(struct flex, flex, fam, __packed,
117  *			u8 data;
118  *		);
119  *	} __packed;
120  *
121  *	static struct composite comp = {
122  *		.flex = {
123  *			.count = 1,
124  *		},
125  *		.data = 2,
126  *	};
127  *
128  * In the example above, .flex and .data initialize different views of the same
129  * union storage. Since .data is initialized last, it _may_ overwrite portions
130  * previously initialized through .flex, leading to .flex.count being zeroed
131  * out.
132  *
133  * A couple of alternatives are shown below.
134  *
135  * a) Initialize only one view of the overlapped storage and assign the rest
136  *    at runtime::
137  *
138  *	static struct composite comp = {
139  *		.flex = {
140  *			.count = 1,
141  *		},
142  *	};
143  *
144  *	static void foo(void)
145  *	{
146  *		comp.data = 2;
147  *		...
148  *	}
149  *
150  * b) Alternatively, replace designated initializers with runtime assignments::
151  *
152  *	static void foo(void)
153  *	{
154  *		struct composite comp;
155  *
156  *		comp.flex.count = 1;
157  *		comp.data = 2;
158  *		...
159  *	}
