Ok, great.  Looks like Sun fixed the flaw that was present in the 5.8

sure, and if you have a moment, can you try to compile the code  
snippet at
the end of this email?

If you name the saved the code "test.c", then just compile with

  /opt/SUNWspro/bin/c99 -c test.c

The Sun C 5.8 compiler complains like this for me:

  "test.c", line 12: identifier redeclared: test_func
          current : function(pointer to const struct a_struct {int  
b, array[-1] of pointer to char c}) returning pointer to void
          previous: function(pointer to const struct a_struct {int  
b, array[-1] of pointer to char c}) returning pointer to void :  
"test.c", line 4
  c99: acomp failed for test.c

If the 5.9 compiler successfully compiles it, then this new version  
of Sun's
compiler correctly handles c99 flex arrays.

It compiles without errors.
