Extended Description
Not sure if this is the right component.
gcc -fsyntax-only accepts the following, but clang does not:
static int array[];
Note that gcc also rejects this code with the -pedantic flag enabled.
Found in the ffmpeg source code.
On a side note, the error "variable has incomplete type 'int []'" is a bit obscure. It would be nice if the error actually gave a hint as to why this is an error.
