+Underspecified object declarations in C
+=======================================
+
+In C23 (N3006), when an object is declared inside of another object and that
+only exists in the scope of the declaration of the outer object. Clang allows
+underspecified object declarations for structs, unions and enums when valid.

+ auto u1 = (union U1 { int a; double b; }){ .a = 34 };
+ auto e1 = (enum E1 { FOO, BAR }){ BAR };
+
+Note, The ``constexpr`` keyword and getting a struct member that is
+underspecified is also allowed.

+ int i1 = (struct T { int a, b; }){0, 1}.a;
+ constexpr int ci2 = (struct T2 { int a, b; }){0, 1}.a;
+
+Moreover, some unusual cases are also allowed as described bellow.

+ constexpr struct S { int a, b; } y = { 0 };

+ } si = {};

+ int a = 12;
+ struct {} s;
+ a;
+ });
+
+All other cases are prohibited by Clang.

+Underspecified Object Declarations in C
=======================================
-In C23 (N3006), when an object is declared inside of another object and that
-only exists in the scope of the declaration of the outer object. Clang allows
-underspecified object declarations for structs, unions and enums when valid.
+C23 introduced the notion of `underspecified object declarations
<https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3006.htm>`_
+(note, the final standards text is different from WG14 N3006 due to changes
+during national body comment review). When an object is declared with the
+``constexpr`` storage class specifier or has a deduced type (with the ``auto``
+specifier), it is said to be "underspecified". Underspecified declarations have
+different requirements than non-underspecified declarations. In particular, the
+identifier being declared cannot be used in its initialization. e.g.,
.. code-block:: c
- auto s1 = (struct S1 { int x, y; }){ 1, 2 };
- auto u1 = (union U1 { int a; double b; }){ .a = 34 };
- auto e1 = (enum E1 { FOO, BAR }){ BAR };
+ auto x = x; // Invalid
+ constexpr int y = y; // Invalid
-Note, The ``constexpr`` keyword and getting a struct member that is
-underspecified is also allowed.
+The standard leaves it implementation-defined whether an underspecified
+declaration may introduce additional identifiers as part of the declaration.
-.. code-block:: c
+Clang allows additional identifiers to be declared in the following cases:
- constexpr auto cs1 = (struct S1 { int x, y; }){ 1, 2 };
- constexpr auto cu1 = (union U1 { int a; double b; }){ .a = 34 };
- constexpr auto ce1 = (enum E1 { FOO, BAR }){ BAR };
- int i1 = (struct T { int a, b; }){0, 1}.a;
- constexpr int ci2 = (struct T2 { int a, b; }){0, 1}.a;

- constexpr typeof(struct s *) x = 0;
- auto so = sizeof(struct S {});
- auto s = ({struct T { int x; } s = {}; s.x; });
- constexpr int (*fp)(struct X { int x; } val) = 0;
- auto v = (void (*)(int y))0;
+* The type specifier for a ``constexpr`` declaration may define a new type.
