Some things I noticed:
That way one could use
[..]
typedef struct {
int fd;
char buffer[PATH_MAX];
} safe_t;
Except, you can't rely on PATH_MAX on any modern system. It's defined in
Linux headers to an arbitrary value to make old code compile, but for
example Hurd folks decided to not define it altogether to make buggy code
fail during compilation rather than on runtime.
Right, so
typedef struct {
int fd;
char buffer[0];
} safe_t;
and allocating the struct as big as needed.
Maybe don't recommend invalid C? Bad habits don't have to live on forever...
