At the time of the implementation of [N3007](https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3007.htm) in Clang, when an array type was specified, an error was emitted unless the deduced type was a `char *`. After further inspection in the C standard, it turns out that the inferred type of an `char[]` should be deduced to a `char *`, which should emit an error if an array type is specified with `auto`. This now invalidates the following cases: ```c auto s1[] = "test"; auto s2[4] = "test"; auto s3[5] = "test"; ``` Fixes #162694
C language Family Front-end
Welcome to Clang.
This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, 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 websites. Here are some pointers:
