What size do you think a label should have otherwise? After mentioning the difference between gcc and icc I've got this response: ---snip--- Regarding the zero size array issue: Objects with zero size are incomplete objects and cannot be used in any meaningful way. Zero length arrays are explicitly prohibited by the Standard. We allowed zero length arrays as a feature request. We set their size to one so operations involving them can make some kind of sense. ---snip--- Can you please give me "something" a compiler developer should understand (an URL, a reference into some standard, a description, ...)? As long as we can provide strong evidence that gcc doesn't do the wrong thing Intel will change icc to be compatible with gcc.
