[PATCH] kunit/overflow: Fix DEFINE_FLEX tests for counted_by

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Mar 04 2025 - 12:59:06 EST


Unfortunately, __builtin_dynamic_object_size() does not take into account
flexible array sizes, even when they are sized by __counted_by. As a
result, the size tests for the flexible arrays need to be separated to
get an accurate check of the compiler's behavior. While at it, fully test
sizeof, __struct_size (bdos(..., 0)), and __member_size (bdos(..., 1)).

I still think this is a compiler design issue, but there's not much to
be done about it currently beyond adjusting these tests. GCC and Clang
agree on this behavior at least. :)
