I don't know. I did a few attempts to observe a change in the calling convention of a function accepting a zero sized array terminated structure by value (on x86_64) but I did not succeed. On the other hand, I assume there are many other ways how a mode can influence ABI. So I'll try to have a look whether we can hack around this situation in 4.8's expr.c instead. Nevertheless, is this patch ok for trunk? Thanks, Martin
