C-99 requires a fully specified type before the unspecified array (and
requires said array to be the last element in the structure). So this
example is *not* valid in C99, but the following would be:
struct foo {
int bar;
char array[];
};
[Which makes sense; it forces a structure to have a non-zero size.]
