Neil, can you point me to the place in the C99 spec that says this is allowed? I thought Expr::isLvalue() conformed to the spec, which says "C99 6.3.2.1: an lvalue is an expression with an object type or an incomplete type other than void.". Please advise.

Remove diagnostics from Sema::CheckIndirectionOperand(). C89/C99 allow dereferencing an incomplete type. clang appears to be emulating some incorrect gcc behavior (see below).
void
foo (void)
{
struct b;
struct b* x = 0;
struct b* y = &*x; // gcc produces an error ("dereferencing pointer to incomplete type")
}
With this patch, the above is now allowed.
