My practical concern is that there is no support for the general case where you do: char array[5]; for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) { array[i] = 7; }
The bigger problem is that people are trying to take this compiler beyond what makes sense (to me). I'm not sure we're going to cease to exist if we don't have arrays.
If romcc can't do something, then work around it; we can warn people about no arrays. But given that nobody has the time to really support romcc (as, e.g., gcc or llvm are supported) we're taking some real risks just plugging changes in.
