--- Comment #2 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Jakub Jelinek <ja...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:7ecf468c9a30b5a6da86812b912fe3368437c8b9 commit r15-8446-g7ecf468c9a30b5a6da86812b912fe3368437c8b9 Author: Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> Date: Wed Mar 19 19:21:38 2025 +0100 c: pedwarn on flexible array member initialization with {} for C23+ [PR119350] Even in C23/C2Y any initialization of flexible array member is still invalid, so we should emit a pedwarn on it. But we no longer do for initialization with {}. The reason is that for C17 and earlier, we already emitted a pedwarn on the {} initializer and so emitting another pedwarn on the flexible array member initialization would be diagnosing the same thing multiple times. In C23 we no longer pedwarn on {}, it is standard. The following patch arranges a pedwarning for that for C23+, so that at least one pedwarning is emitted. So that we don't "regress" from C17 to C23 on nested flexible array member initialization with no -pedantic/-pedantic-errors/-Wpedantic, the patch emits even the initialization of flexible array member in a nested context diagnostic as pedwarn in the {} case, after all, it doesn't cause much trouble, we just ignore it like before, it wouldn't initialize anything. 2025-03-19 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c/119350 * c-typeck.cc (pop_init_level): Don't ignore empty brackets for flag_isoc23, still set constructor_type to NULL in that case but emit a pedwarn_init in that case. * gcc.dg/pr119350-1.c: New test. * gcc.dg/pr119350-2.c: New test. * gcc.dg/pr119350-3.c: New test.
