[Bug c++/109021] accept size parameter in extern C
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109021 --- Comment #6 from Martin Uecker --- Note that I do not propose to add variably modified types to C++. This would indeed be a major extension. I simply propose to ignore the size expressions in C headers as a usability improvement. My patch I have somewhere for this are a couple lines of code. I plan to bring this up to WG21 anyway, but standards should ideally standardize things where there exists prior experience. It would be helpful if GCC takes part in this process.

Because GCC does like these days to add huge extensions to the C++ language. Maybe you could bring this up to WG21 (C++ standards committee) as a paper which fully thought out (and an implementation either GCC or clang as an open source example). GCC might take that implementation and have it as an extension ...

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109021 --- Comment #2 from Martin Uecker --- True. But we could still take it as a hint about where this is not useful to users to diagnose this as an error.
