No, that code's invalid too - you can't use the asterisk there. I don't have my copy of the standard to hand, but it's definitely the case - basically, the asterisk can only be used if the length can be inferred from elsewhere, which it can't here. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18990
