I agree with you, Roberto, this violates the constraints of section 6.7.5.2. By the way, gcc refuses to compile it: error: array type has incomplete element type It does not fail when running the test suite because CIL removes it before gcc can spot it (since it is an unused global). I have removed those lines in svn (r11942). Many thanks, -- Gabriel Kerneis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
