bounds checking PoC

I'd like Clang's UBSan bounds checker to disallow the old-style 0-byte and
1-byte array declarations as being seen as a variant of a flexible array
member.

As it turns out, GCC has "-fsanitize=bounds-strict" which gets me close to what
I'd like (it still allows 0-byte):


(Built with gcc -fsanitize=bounds)
$ ./bounds-gcc abc
flex (should always be okay): ok (no trap!)
zero (should be okay, treated as flex): ok (no trap!)
one (should fail): FAIL (this should have trapped!)
non_flex (should fail): FAIL (this should have trapped!)
non_trailing (absolutely should fail): Illegal instruction (core dumped)

(Built with gcc -fsanitize=bounds-strict)
$ ./bounds-gcc abc
flex (should always be okay): ok (no trap!)
zero (should be okay, treated as flex): ok (no trap!)
one (should fail): Illegal instruction (core dumped)

(Built with clang -fsanitize=bounds)
$ ./bounds-clang abc
flex (should always be okay): ok (no trap!)
zero (should be okay, treated as flex): ok (no trap!)
one (should fail): FAIL (this should have trapped!)
non_flex (should fail): Illegal instruction (core dumped)


Could Clang's UBSan grow the "strict" version of this to check 1-byte arrays?
