/* gcc 1.36 (and 1.36.93) bug 900226_01

  gcc issues an error message for the first member of the following pair
  of declarations.  I believe that this is legal ANSI C code.  The intent
  here is to "forward declare" a static array.

  At least one C "expert" has advised me that this should be legal.

*/

static int array[];		/* gets bogus error */
static int array[] = { 1,2,3 };

/*
  The error message says:

	storage size of `array' isn't known
*/
