Subject: [PATCH][next] gcc-plugins: randstruct: Update code comment in
 relayout_struct()
Message-ID: <ZWJr2MWDjXLHE8ap@work>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
Precedence: bulk

Update code comment to clarify that the only element whose layout is
not randomized is a proper C99 flexible-array member. This update is
complementary to commit 1ee60356c2dc ("gcc-plugins: randstruct: Only
warn about true flexible arrays")
