Thread: Why does this structure allocate memory?

Grumpy is right......

with additional modification it can work wonders.....

Code:

typedef struct{
	int b;
	int len;
       statusrecord stRec[];
} rsp;


adding len field, which can take dynamic values.......

rsp *francis;

francis = malloc(sizeof(rsp)+len)

I don't see how that code is valid.

yeah its not valid.....I was under the impression this way one can make the structure dynamic..
