OK, with an appropriate change to the comment above the c_parser_postfix_expression function to say that compound literals are not handled here and callers have to call c_parser_postfix_expression_after_paren_type on encountering them. (I've reviewed all paths to c_parser_postfix_expression in the current parser and don't think any of them can send compound literals to it, because either they are parsing a specific more restricted syntax incompatible with compond literals (OMP cases), are parsing an expression that might be a cast expression so need to parse the (type) first to distinguish, or are parsing a context such as sizeof where a parenthesized type name is allowed as well as a postfix expression and again need to parse the (type) first to distinguish.) -- Joseph S.
