Jeremy Morse 8129c5c0a4 Detect an incompatible VLA pointer assignment
For pointer assignments of VLA types, Clang currently detects when array
dimensions _lower_ than a variable dimension differ, and reports a warning.
However it does not do the same when the _higher_ dimensions differ, a
case that GCC does catch.

These two pointer types

    int (*foo)[1][bar][3];
    int (*baz)[1][2][3];

are compatible with each another, and the program is well formed if
bar == 2, a matter that is the programmers problem. However the following:

    int (*qux)[2][2][3];

would not be compatible with either, because the upper dimension differs
in size. Clang reports baz is incompatible with qux, but not that foo is
incompatible with qux because it doesn't check those higher dimensions.

Fix this by comparing array sizes on higher dimensions: if both are
constants but unequal then report incompatibility; if either dimension is
variable then we can't know either way.

// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:
