Building with Clang

[sherpya]

VLA in struct is a GCC extension, not allowed by the standard, so I suppose clang will never allow it:

you can use flexible array members defining the field as char name[] and add strlen(name) + 1 to:

Code:

new_child = zalloc ( sizeof ( *new_child ) + strlen(name) + 1 );

but sometime it will allocate less space (2 bytes, because of aligment)
