Make sure that all generated C structs have at least one field; this avoids potential issues with attempting to malloc space for zero-length structs in C (g_malloc(sizeof struct) would return NULL). It also avoids an incompatibility with C++ (where an empty struct is size 1); that isn't important to us now but might be in future. Generated empty structures look like this: struct Abort { char qapi_dummy_field_for_empty_struct; }; This silences clang warnings like: ./qapi-types.h:3752:1: warning: empty struct has size 0 in C, size 1 in C++ [-Wextern-c-compat] struct Abort ^ Signed-off-by:Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> Reviewed-by:
