[Bug c/18063] New: Gcc doesn't check overflowed size of structure

[mikulas at artax dot karlin dot mff dot cuni dot cz]

The following code compiles and runs, but shouldn't, because the size of
structure a overflows size_t type. Overflowed size is checked for arrays, for
global and local variables, but not for structures.

struct a {
        char x[0x7fffffff];
        char b[0x7fffffff];
        char c[3];
};

main()
{
        struct a *b = malloc(sizeof(struct a));
        return sizeof (struct a);
}
