--- Comment #4 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The trunk branch has been updated by Andrew Pinski <pins...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:a6b810ae783acf8cec2d2272a46bd6de0976f496 commit r14-363-ga6b810ae783acf8cec2d2272a46bd6de0976f496 Author: Andrew Pinski <apin...@marvell.com> Date: Wed Nov 30 02:54:57 2022 +0000 Fix C/107926: Wrong error message when initializing char array The problem here is the code which handles {"a"} is supposed to handle the case where the is something after the string but it only handles the case where there is another string so we go down the other path and error out saying "excess elements in struct initializer" even though this was a character array. To fix this, we need to move the ckeck if the initializer is a string after the check for array and initializer. OK? Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-linux-gnu with no regressions. Thanks, Adnrew Pinski gcc/c/ChangeLog: PR c/107926 * c-typeck.cc (process_init_element): Move the check for string cst until after the error message. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: PR c/107926 * gcc.dg/init-excess-3.c: New test.
