... which is why I didn't apply this patch. I don't like changes which
make the reader have to jump through hoops to figure out what the code
actually does. I find the original much easier to understand.

Silencing analyzer warnings shouldn't be done at the expense of human
readers. If it is imperative to switch to flex_array_size() to quiesce
checker warnings, please add a comment in the code explaining that the
size evaluates to nseg_new-1 sge_ieee1212 structs.
