// g++ 1.37.1 bug 900322_01
// ** Old, obsolete commentary:
// **************************************************************************
// The ANSI C standard, in section 3.1.2.5 (first paragraph) differentiates
// types into three disjoint sets, i.e object types, function types, and
// incomplete types.
// Also in 3.1.2.5 (page 24) the standard says that the element type of
// an array type is an object type.
// Later in that same section the standard also notes that array types with
// unknown size are considered incomplete types (page 25). (Struct & union
// types which have only been "forward declared" are also incomplete types.)
// Some experts infer this to mean that it is not legal to specify or to
// construct an array *type* whose element type is an incomplete type.
// This interpretation suggests that the statements indicated below contain
// errors.
// g++ fails to flag all of the indicated statements with errors (even when
// the -pedantic option is used).
// **************************************************************************
// The above commentary is wrong. (jason 1998/11/13)
// In fact, the lines marked OK are well-formed; the prohibition is only
// against forming array types with multiple unknown bounds. This prohibition
// is found in 8.3.4 [dcl.array].
// It is also ill-formed to create an object of incomplete type.
// keywords: incomplete types, arrays, element types
