Zero Length Arrays Allowed?

[Ron Baalke]

I've inherited some C code that had the following declaration in it:

     char tbi[0];

When I tried to compile this using Turbo C v2.0 and VAX C, it was flagged as
a fatal error. My question is this: are zero length arrays allowed in the
ANSI standard for C?
