[Bug c/67234] New: Wrong Message of -Wvla for Standard ISO C90 However Emitted with -std=c11


https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67234

            Bug ID: 67234
           Summary: Wrong Message of -Wvla for Standard ISO C90 However
                    Emitted with -std=c11
           Product: gcc
           Version: 6.0
            Status: RESOLVED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: chengniansun at gmail dot com
                CC: mpolacek at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---
            Status: RESOLVED
                CC: mpolacek at gcc dot gnu.org
        Resolution: DUPLICATE

When I compile the code "int array[4.3];", in addition to the error, GCC also
emits a -Wvla warning saying that ISO C90 forbids this. However, I specify
-std=c11 in the command line, and IMHO this is at least an inconsistency
between errors and error messages. 

$: cat t.c
int array[4.3];
$: gcc-trunk -c -Wvla -std=c11 -pedantic t.c
t.c:1:5: error: size of array âarrayâ has non-integer type
 int array[4.3];
     ^
t.c:1:1: warning: variably modified âarrayâ at file scope
 int array[4.3];
 ^
t.c:1:1: warning: ISO C90 forbids array âarrayâ whose size canât be evaluated
[-Wvla]
$: gcc-trunk -v
