Array of zero length

by

Yes this is a C-Hack.
To create an array of any length:

struct someData* mallocSomeData(int size)
{
    struct someData*  result = (struct someData*)malloc(sizeof(struct someData) + size * sizeof(BYTE));
    if (result)
    {    result->nData = size;
    }
    return result;
}

Now you have an object of someData with an array of a specified length.
