Summary: non-standard: array[0]

Initial Comment:
in Modules/_ctypes/ctypes.h:

typedef struct {
[..]
        ffi_type *atypes[0];
} ffi_info;

AFAIK, arrays must be of size > 0.
_Most_ compilers accepts this, but not all
(especially my HP-UX compiler).

Please change *atypes[0] to *atypes[1]!

Bye,
Johannes

I can, and probably will, change this in Modules/_ctypes/ctypes.h. 
However, I'm afraid it will not help the OP too much because it seems he
cannot sucessfully compile the libffi sources with this HP-UX compiler
anyway because of at least *some* other problems.

I have the impression that libffi is GCC-specific, and unless someone
provides a complete patch for the HP-UX (or other) compilers it will
probably stay this way.
