I updated gimplify.c for VLA and now it emits the call to .DEFERRED_INIT as:

      arr.1 = __builtin_alloca_with_align (D.1954, 32);
      *arr.1 = .DEFERRED_INIT (D.1952, 2, 1);

However, this call triggered the assertion failure in verify_gimple_call of 
tree-cfg.c because the LHS is not a valid LHS. 
Then I modify tree-cfg.c as:

diff --git a/gcc/tree-cfg.c b/gcc/tree-cfg.c
index 330eb7dd89bf..180d4f1f9e32 100644
--- a/gcc/tree-cfg.c
+++ b/gcc/tree-cfg.c
@@ -3375,7 +3375,11 @@ verify_gimple_call (gcall *stmt)
      }
 
   tree lhs = gimple_call_lhs (stmt);
+  /* For .DEFERRED_INIT call, the LHS might be an indirection of
+     a pointer for the VLA variable, which is not a valid LHS of

   if (lhs

       && (!is_gimple_reg (lhs)
          && (!is_gimple_lvalue (lhs)
              || verify_types_in_gimple_reference

The assertion failure in tree-cfg.c got resolved, but I got another assertion 
failure in operands_scanner::get_expr_operands (tree *expr_p, int flags), line 
945:

 939   /* If we get here, something has gone wrong.  */
 940   if (flag_checking)
 941     {
 942       fprintf (stderr, "unhandled expression in get_expr_operands():\n");
 943       debug_tree (expr);
 944       fputs ("\n", stderr);
 945       gcc_unreachable ();
 946     }

Looks like that  the gimple statement:
    *arr.1 = .DEFERRED_INIT (D.1952, 2, 1);

Is not valid.  i.e, the LHS should not be an indirection to a pointer. 

How to resolve this issue?

Thanks a lot for your help.
