--- Comment #31 from James Y Knight <foom at fuhm dot net> ---
It doesn't make sense to have a mode in which `int array[0]` is accepted but is
not a flex array.
Either that should be a compilation error (as the standard specifies), or it
should be a flex array. Accepting it as an extension but having it do the wrong
thing is not useful or helpful.
Note that Clang has a dedicated warning flag for zero-length arrays:
-Wzero-length-array, so anyone who wants to prohibit them may use
-Werror=zero-length-array. It would be helpful for GCC could follow suit there.
The other proposed modes:
- Treat all trailing arrays as flexible arrays. the default behavior;
- Only treating [], [0], and [1] as flexible array;
- Only treating [] and [0] as flexible array;
do make sense.
