Currently, Clang diagnoses this code by default: `void f(int a[static 0]);` saying that "static has no effect on zero-length arrays" and this diagnostic is accurate for our implementation.

However, static array extents require that the caller of the function pass a nonnull pointer to an array of *at least* that number of elements, but it can pass more (see C17 6.7.6.3p6). Given that we allow zero-sized arrays as a GNU extension and that it's valid to pass more elements than specified by the static array extent, I think we should support zero-sized static array extents with the usual semantics because it can be useful, as pointed out to me on Twitter (https://twitter.com/rep_stosq_void/status/1280892279998291973):

  void my_bzero(char p[static 0], int n);
  my_bzero(&c+1, 0); //ok
  my_bzero(t+k,n-k); //ok, pattern from actual code
