--- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
In C the test case isn't strictly conforming because it uses a non-constant
initializer for a static object (for which it's rejected by GCC), and because C
doesn't allow initializing objects with flexible array members.

In C++ where such initializers are allowed it is meant to be accepted by G++
which also supports static initialization of flexible array members as an
extension.
