Yes, I was assuming the same approach as for the existing void data declaration, that the structure is given a nominal size,
for just the reasons you give.  (That's what gcc seems to do.)

Many compilers do just that, however, that said, unless the compiler is prepared for it, since it effectively yields a struct of zero size which normally is a no-go, it could produce bugs involving sizeof, initializers, pointer addition et al, even some divisions by zero if the compiler is making certain assumptions already, unless it already can have zero length objects of this nature for some other reasons.
