Re: Patch to warn about static initializers for zero length arrays


I have a short C program that verifies that the patch to warn about
zero length arrays work. Should I install this file in
gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg?

I noticed that gcc/gcc/ChangeLog lists the changes I made, but the files
that
are suppose to have those changes, e.g. c-typeck.c and extend.texi, do
not
have the listed changes.  Should I check in those changes and correct
the
ChangeLog to reflect the date the changes made?
