Edit Question
Title
Body
I have looked around but have been unable to find a solution to what must be a well asked question. Here is the code I have: #include <stdlib.h> struct my_struct { int n; char s[] }; int main() { struct my_struct ms; ms.s = malloc(sizeof(char*)*50); } and here is the error gcc gives me: error: invalid use of flexible array member I can get it to compile if i declare the declaration of s inside the struct to be char* s and this is probably a superior implementation (pointer arithmetic is faster than arrays, yes?) but I thought in c a declaration of char s[] is the same as char* s
