--- Comment #6 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- As I said, [0] is not a VLA bound. And we don't record anything for constant bounds (even if they are in the middle). So perhaps: /* array_type_nelts assumes the middle-end TYPE_DOMAINs, while GNU [0] array in the FE don't have TYPE_MAX_VALUE of the domain set, yet they are complete types with no elements. */ if (nelts == error_mark_node && TYPE_DOMAIN (type) && !TYPE_MAX_VALUE (TYPE_DOMAIN (type)) && COMPLETE_P (type) && integer_zerop (TYPE_SIZE (type))) continue; if (error_mark_operand (nelts)) return attrs; which would bail for errors, but would handle [0] complete arrays as non-errors. After all, even for those it might be meaningful to complain about out of bounds accesses. Sure, for [0] arrays all dereferences are invalid, but taking address of element [0] is ok.
