Test cases:

struct A { int[0] b; }
A a = A(0); // Fails, compiler aborts
A b = {b:0}; // OK, but perhaps shouldn't be.
A c = A([]); // OK
A d = {b:[]}; // OK



Although the compiler shouldn't issue an assert, a zero length array should be enforced to have a 0 length initializer.

Regards

This needs to be an error, because that 0 value has nowhere to be stored into:

struct A { int[0] b; }
A b = {b : 0};

Created an attachment (id=813)
PATCH against rev 755: fix crash in first case

Fixed:

A a = A(0); // Fails, compiler aborts

by issuing error msg.

I'll dig a bit more into fixing the second case, that should be an error as way.

Just under the "duplicate union" error is where to look iirc.

Created an attachment (id=844)
Patch for 5090

Reassigned to Walter. Attaching patch that turns assert into an error, but enforces that this corner case only happens for zero-length'd static arrays.

Make any improvements you may wish to add/remove, as I generally suck at coming up with good, concise error messages. :~)

Just to make note, these forms of initialisation are still OK for zero-length static arrays:

struct A { int[0] b; }
A a = A();    // OK
A b = {};     // OK
A c = A([]);  // OK
A d = {b:[]}; // OK
