VLA crash

[shiv]

The following code:

module test;
import stdio;
public func int32 main () {
   const uint64[2] Dims = {2, 3}
   float32[Dims[0]][Dims[1]] p;
   p[0][0] = 1;
   p[0][1] = 2;
   stdio.printf ("%g %g", p[0][0], p[0][1]);
  return 0;
}

causes the following error:
c2c: /home/shiv/c2compiler/c2c/CGenerator/CCodeGenerator.cpp:485: void C2::CCodeGenerator::EmitDecl(const C2::Decl *, C2::StringBuilder &): Assertion `D' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

Not sure what Assert 'D' is?
Thanks.

Good one!
I'll turn it into a unit test and fix it this evening..

The issue reproduces nicely indeed. There seem to be several issues here. The first one
is that array subscript expressions were not marked at compile-time-constant (if they were).
That is fixed on a branch now. Since C2 allows more then C sometimes, I'll look carefully
at the order of evaluation, since it's otherwise easy to get loops in constant declarations
that we have to detect/avoid..

I just installed C2 again and this issue does not appear to be fixed at least if I install c2 according to the installation instructions on the github home page. I know you said that you would fix this in another branch. If so, please let me know how to proceed and I will be happy to try it out. Thanks.

Actually please ignore that request. I realized that C support for multidimensional arrays is broken anyway so I will just use the vanilla 1D arrays instead.
Thanks.
