 Hi,
 
 this PR is about a segfault when initializing an array like this:
 
 unsigned char tab[] = { 1,2,3,4,<several million initializer element> };
 
 The reason is a stack overflow because the initializer elements are
 in a TREE_LIST and this list is passed to expr.c:safe_from_p which
 does an infinite recursion in this piece of code:
 
     case 'x':
       if (TREE_CODE (exp) == TREE_LIST)
         return ((TREE_VALUE (exp) == 0
                  || safe_from_p (x, TREE_VALUE (exp), 0))
                 && (TREE_CHAIN (exp) == 0
                     || safe_from_p (x, TREE_CHAIN (exp), 0)));
 
 I guess that rewriting this as:
     case 'x':
       if (TREE_CODE (exp) == TREE_LIST)
 	{
 	  tree tmp;
 	  for (tmp = exp; tmp; tmp = TREE_CHAIN(tmp))
 	    {
 	      if (TREE_VALUE(exp) != 0 && !safe_from_p (x, TREE_VALUE (tmp), 0))
 		return 0;
 	    }
 	  return 1;
 	}
 
 should fix this PR. I'll bootstrap and regtest.
 
    regards  Christian
