Summary
  • Free the pointer that was returned by the allocator, instead of the address of the first member. These will be equal in practice, but it's sketchy and possibly won't work on CHERI.
  • Use an anonymous struct, there's no need to name it.

In practice, this would be fine with default CHERI C, but broken with subobject bounds.
