[Bug c++/29273] New: error on dynamic_cast<T>(array)

[sebor at roguewave dot com]

Gcc gives an error for the dynamic_cast below. During the discussion of bug
29185 with EDG it turned out that according to 5, p8, the code is well-formed
and should not be diagnosed.

$ cat t.cpp && gcc t.cpp
struct A { virtual ~A () { } };
struct B: A { } b [1];

void foo ()
{
    dynamic_cast<B*>(b);
}
t.cpp: In function 'void foo()':
t.cpp:6: error: cannot dynamic_cast 'b' (of type 'struct B [1]') to type
'struct B*' (source is not a pointer)
