Summary: Regression from GCC 4.4: "storage size of 'test_array' isn't constant" Product: gcc Version: 4.5.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: ma...@juffo.org Created attachment 22046 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=22046 _configtest.i When building the Python NumPy library for Python 3.x, it does the following test compilation test: typedef struct {float __x; float __y;} npy_check_sizeof_type; int main () { static int test_array [1 - 2 * !(((long) (sizeof (npy_check_sizeof_type))) <= 16.0)]; test_array [0] = 0 ... This code compiles fine with GCC 4.4.5 on Ubuntu, but fails with GCC 4.5.1 on Arch Linux x86_64: % gcc _configtest.c _configtest.c: In function 'main': _configtest.c:5:16: error: storage size of 'test_array' isn't constant % gcc -v Using built-in specs.
