Bug ID: 97413
Summary: gcc-11 fails to typecheck VLA declarations on
emacs-27.1: error: wrong number of arguments specified
for 'access' attribute
Product: gcc
Version: 11.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: slyfox at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Originally observer a s build failure of emacs-27.1 on gcc-11.
Minimal reproduces:
$ cat fns.c.c
int a(long b, const int a1[b], long c, const int a2[c], int a3[c]);
$ ./xgcc -B. -c fns.c.c
fns.c.c:1:1: error: wrong number of arguments specified for 'access' attribute
1 | int a(long b, const int a1[b], long c, const int a2[c], int a3[c]);
| ^~~
fns.c.c:1:1: note: expected between 1 and 3, found 4
gcc-10 builds it successfully. Original emacs code is at
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/src/fns.c#n2004 (in case I
reduced it incorrectly).
$ ./xgcc -B. -v
