"Partially" because the vararrays module merely defines
__STDC_NO_VLA__ a la C11. The new module would define
VLA_ELEMS, which would be the rest of the job that gnulib
could reasonably do.
IIUC, as it is proposed, RCS would still have to do that test
and then re-‘#define VLA_ELEMS’:
#if BUGGY
#undef VLA_ELEMS
#define VLA_ELEMS(x)
#endif
I think it would be more useful to expand the scope of module
‘vla’ to do the configure-time test, too, such that RCS can
simply include it and use ‘VLA_ELEMS’ unconditionally. Buggy
compiler workarounds are under gnulib purview, after all, right?
