void added inline comments.


================
Comment at: clang/test/SemaCXX/array-bounds.cpp:240
 
-    ((char*)foo)[sizeof(foo)] = '\0';  // expected-warning {{array index 32768 is past the end of the array (which contains 32768 elements)}}
+    ((char*)foo)[sizeof(foo)] = '\0';  // expected-warning {{array index 32768 is past the end of the array (which contains 4096 elements)}}

I so far have this. It looks not too bad even for the non-cast. Thoughts?

```
$ cat ab.c
void test_pr10771() {
    double foo[4096];  // expected-note {{array 'foo' declared here}}

    ((char*)foo)[sizeof(foo)] = '\0';  // expected-warning {{array index 32768 is past the end of the array (which contains 4096 elements of type 'double[4096])}}
    foo[4098] = '\0';  // expected-warning {{array index 32768 is past the end of the array (which contains 4096 elements of type 'double[4096])}}
}
$ clang++ -x c++ -o /dev/null -S -std=c++14 ~/llvm/ab.c
