Ideally we would be able to reject (int)&a as non-constant and therefore illegal because the storage size of buf isn't constant. Unfortunately we do this in finish_decl, which is not called after the point where we fail now. My hack-around is to deal with label_context_stack_vm==NULL in more places. Sadly I have no idea what this variable is for, and Joseph did not add any comment or documentation of any form for these global variables. (Ironic: the people who always rightly point out that people should document what they are doing sometimes fail to document their own work :-) If there is a way to reject this non-constant _before_ we call c_begin_vm_scope, that would be the "right" fix AFAICT. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25161
