35 /* Yield a properly aligned upper bound on the size of a struct of
36    type TYPE with a flexible array member named MEMBER that is
37    followed by N bytes of other data.  The result is suitable as an
38    argument to malloc.  For example:
39 
40      struct s { int n; char d[FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER]; };
41      struct s *p = malloc (FLEXSIZEOF (struct s, d, n * sizeof (char)));
42 
43    FLEXSIZEOF (TYPE, MEMBER, N) is not simply (sizeof (TYPE) + N),
44    since FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER may be 1 on pre-C11 platforms.  Nor is
45    it simply (offsetof (TYPE, MEMBER) + N), as that might yield a size
46    that causes malloc to yield a pointer that is not properly aligned
47    for TYPE; for example, if sizeof (int) == alignof (int) == 4,
48    malloc (offsetof (struct s, d) + 3 * sizeof (char)) is equivalent
49    to malloc (7) and might yield a pointer that is not a multiple of 4
50    (which means the pointer is not properly aligned for struct s),
51    whereas malloc (FLEXSIZEOF (struct s, d, 3 * sizeof (char))) is
52    equivalent to malloc (8) and must yield a pointer that is a
53    multiple of 4.
54 
55    Yield a value less than N if and only if arithmetic overflow occurs.  */
