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.
