Yeah.  Specifically, I was thinking that you already have the address of this flexible array member, and if the immediately containing struct is uniquely allocated directly within the root type of the `__counted_by` path, you can just find that offset statically and subtract to get a pointer to the root type.  But of course that only works if it *is* uniquely allocated directly within the root type, which it isn't going to be in the general case if the root type is just some lexically-enclosing struct, which ties this back to the other conversation.

Stepping back for a second, I'm surprised you need to do so much from scratch for flexible arrays.  Don't the other `-fbounds-safety` features already have some logic where they recognize e.g. a load from a `__counted_by` field of pointer type and then emit the count expression?  How do those code paths solve this problem?
