--- Comment #4 from Manuel López-Ibáñez <manu at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Ah, I get it know. Your testcase was not complete. Please follow
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ when reporting bugs. You will avoid a lot of
confusion.
A complete minimal testcase:
struct Happ;
extern int afunction(
int anint,
struct Happ *happ; // <- Extra semicolon
);
I think we should warn for this case, or even not accept it at all. The above
is clearly not the use intended for VLAs because:
1) happ cannot be the length of the array
2) there are no arguments to the function, so a foward declaration is useless.
If you *really* think this is a serious bug, why not help us to fix it?
