const char foo[] = "libc"; extern __typeof (foo) bar __attribute__((alias ("foo"))); int s1 = sizeof foo; int s2 = sizeof bar; yields z.c:4: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘const char[]’ with 4.0 and HEAD. Compiles successfully with 3.2.3 and 3.4.4. Also compiles successfully with 4.0 and HEAD with -Dconst=''. That is, the failure goes away if we remove const from the picture. -- Summary: [4.0/4.1 regression] completed type not selected properly with typeof Product: gcc Version: 4.0.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: rejects-valid Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: c AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: rth at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org,roland at redhat dot com http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20519
