Error when compiling with strict error reporting about libogc HOT 4 CLOSED

im no expert, but the problem here is that the content array has no fixed length and changes between titles (as some titles have more content files than others) and this is C code, not C++ (so no access to std::vector, which in turn would increase code size too).

the only thing i can think of is to make this a pointer?
maybe @WinterMute knows something?

You can't do this with a pointer. A flexible array is effectively syntactic sugar for the memory past the end of the struct. Generally I don't recommend using them since their memory semantics are, well, weird (which is probably why C++ disallows them), but it's impossible to solve this in a way that placates both the C++ compiler and preserves backwards compatibility. You should probably just turn off -Wpedantic, to be honest, since at this point I think changing that API is unlikely to happen.

ye, thats fair. changing the API would sadly break to much homebrew out there. and if a pointer to replace the array won't work, then i also think turning off the warning is best.

Alright, I guess I'll just use pragmas to disable it temporarily for that include, even though it's a pain, that's still a better option than breaking backwards compatibility or just disabling the warning altogether, potentially breaking some of my code...
