Empty structures have sizeof(1) in C++ now ?

[Poul-Henning Kamp]

Is this a bug ?


        critter phk> cat /tmp/_.c

        #include <stdio.h>
        struct foo {
        };

        int
        main(int argc, char **argv)
        {
                struct foo bar;
                printf("%jd %jd\n", sizeof(struct foo), sizeof(bar));
                return (0);
        }
        critter phk> cc -o /tmp/a.out /tmp/_.c
        critter phk> /tmp/a.out
        0 0
        critter phk> c++ -o /tmp/a.out /tmp/_.c
        c++: warning: treating 'c' input as 'c++' when in C++ mode, this
