[static-analyzer-output] Flexible array member referenced in the middle of a struct (`tracemalloc_traceback`)

[Snape3058]

struct tracemalloc_traceback is a flexible array struct, which is declared here:

cpython/Include/internal/pycore_tracemalloc.h

Lines 57 to 64 in fcbe6ec

	struct tracemalloc_traceback {
	Py_uhash_t hash;
	/* Number of frames stored */
	uint16_t nframe;
	/* Total number of frames the traceback had */
	uint16_t total_nframe;
	struct tracemalloc_frame frames[1];
	};

and confirmed to be used as a flexible array: (allocation size computation)

cpython/Python/tracemalloc.c

Lines 49 to 53 in fcbe6ec

	typedef struct tracemalloc_frame frame_t;
	typedef struct tracemalloc_traceback traceback_t;
	#define TRACEBACK_SIZE(NFRAME) \
	(sizeof(traceback_t) + sizeof(frame_t) * (NFRAME - 1))

Using this type in the middle of a struct may lead to unexpected behavior if the flexible array field is used accidentally somewhere else.

cpython/Include/internal/pycore_tracemalloc.h

Lines 104 to 106 in fcbe6ec

	struct tracemalloc_traceback empty_traceback;
	Py_tss_t reentrant_key;

Suggested fix:

1. In the current version, the flexible array field is declared with length [1]. If it is not on purpose, it can be changed to length unspecified [] to enable the GCC and Clang syntax checker for the flexible array usages.
   The expected GCC warning after modifying [1] to []:

  104 |     struct tracemalloc_traceback empty_traceback;
      |                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2. As this flexible array field is being used currently, we can define the header and flexible array separately in different structs.
   (the solution proposed by Gustavo A. R. Silva gustavoars@kernel.org and currently being used in Linux kernel: https://lpc.events/event/18/contributions/1722/attachments/1591/3303/Wfamnae_lpceu2024.pdf, page 44)

#define define_struct_group(NAME, MEMBERS...) \
  union { \
    struct { MEMBERS }; \
    struct NAME { MEMBERS }; \
  }
struct tracemalloc_traceback_FA {
  define_struct_group(tracemalloc_traceback,
      Py_uhash_t hash;
      /* Number of frames stored */
      uint16_t nframe;
      /* Total number of frames the traceback had */
      uint16_t total_nframe;
  );
  struct tracemalloc_frame frames[1];
};

For the usages of only the header struct, they can still use the name tracemalloc_traceback to reference the struct, which means no modification is needed.
Whereas for other usages that need to reference the flexible array field, they need to use tracemalloc_traceback_FA instead.
Some changes need to be carried out for the later cases.
