That only works if this member is a pointer. You cannot have struct
members with incomplete types.
Right. But that can still be done, because we have a local allocator.
Breakpoint structs are created by set_raw_breakpoint_without_location,
a static function, and the exported interface is set_raw_breakpoint.
As long as nobody outside of breakpoint.c allocates a struct bp,
I don't see why it shouldn't work.
