First, I do understand.

Second, if you send a post to gcc-help, and receive a reply,
continue to include gcc-help in your responses.

Third, if your problem is with creating very large static
arrays which exceed your memory space, please don't muddy the issue
with your concerns about copying data.  If the problem is copying
data without error, then please don't ask gcc-help to address those.

Expecting a compiler to catch your errors in copying data verges
on foolhardy.  There's no syntactic difference between
   int ar[] = { 1, 2, 3 };
and
   int ar[] = { 10, 20, 30, 40 };

I presume that these would not give the same results in your
program.
