/* Yield a properly aligned upper bound on the size of a struct of
   type TYPE with a flexible array member named MEMBER that is
   followed by N bytes of other data.  The result is suitable as an
   argument to malloc.  For example:

     struct s { int n; char d[FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER]; };
     struct s *p = malloc (FLEXSIZEOF (struct s, d, n * sizeof (char)));

   FLEXSIZEOF (TYPE, MEMBER, N) is not simply (sizeof (TYPE) + N),
   since FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER may be 1 on pre-C11 platforms.  Nor is
   it simply (offsetof (TYPE, MEMBER) + N), as that might yield a size
   that causes malloc to yield a pointer that is not properly aligned
   for TYPE; for example, if sizeof (int) == alignof (int) == 4,
   malloc (offsetof (struct s, d) + 3 * sizeof (char)) is equivalent
   to malloc (7) and might yield a pointer that is not a multiple of 4
   (which means the pointer is not properly aligned for struct s),
   whereas malloc (FLEXSIZEOF (struct s, d, 3 * sizeof (char))) is
   equivalent to malloc (8) and must yield a pointer that is a
   multiple of 4.

   Yield a value less than N if and only if arithmetic overflow occurs.  */
