[Bug c/36432] New: “incompatible pointer type” with pointer to array as a struct member

["anders at kaseorg dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

According to gcc warnings, a pointer to int[] can be assigned the address of an
int[3], but not if the variable is a struct member:

int main() {
    int array[3];
    int (*ptr)[];
    struct { int (*ptr)[]; } st;

    ptr = &array;     // fine
    st.ptr = &array;  // warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
}
