The struct core.sys.linux.sys.inotify.inotify_event contains the field "char[0] name" which corresponds to "char name[]" in C.Why it has been translated to "char[0]" ? For me "char*" would have been more appropriate.
It's a flexible array member [1], not a pointer. Changing it to `char*` would make it incompatible with the C functions using it.
