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