Compiling this invalid C++ code with current mainline: void foo() { static int c = 2; static const char *a[][c] = { { "1", "2" } }; }
gives me: foo.cc: In function void foo(): foo.cc:1: internal compiler error: in tree_low_cst, at tree.c:4519 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions. It should instead say something along the lines of foo.cc:1: error: array bound is not an integer constant -- Summary: ICE on invalid: C++ static variable length array Product: gcc Version: 4.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: ian at airs dot com http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29175
