Of course.  But I still can't see what you meant by the original phrase
but it seems it had nothing to do with how I interpreted it.  Nothing it
going to be gained by my going on about what I think you said.  It's
clear you are talking about something else -- something about which I
have no comment to make.

Only that the operators (* . -> []) which I would normally represent by 
dedicated AST nodes that I call (deref, dot, idot, index) could all in 
fact be represented by just 'deref' at the top level. Then 'sizeof' only 
needs to look at 'deref' rather than all four to its special array thing.

That's possible too. You seem to think in rather different ways from me...

I thought that was what you meant but you did not give a simple example
of . being re-written.  In fact, in the first, pass all your . examples
included the . operator.

If it helps, and you can get the details right, then obviously there is
nothing wrong with it.  But I am a little sceptical that re-writing

  S.C /* C is an array of 10 ints */

as

  *( int (*)[10] )((char *)&S + offsetof(S, C))

really helps.  For one thing, you will run into trouble where the
expression on the LHS of the dot is not an lvalue.  How would you
re-write

  f().C

where F returns a struct of the same type as the name S?

Oh yeah; I didn't notice! But I know is that from experience, these ops 
can always reduce down to low-level address, offset and pointer [deref] 
operations.

I've never implemented a struct return type in the way that C does it. 
But I think it involves using a local temporary struct value that the 
function can be told to write the contents to.

Then that temp can be treated the same way as S. (But this starts to 
encroach on code generation; I will need to do it first before I can 
answer that fully.)

With sizeof (and probably also &) recursive descent parser
will know that is handling sizeof before parsing its argument.
So just pass appropriate flag to routine which parses argument.

Is your logic to do the decay when something is observed as not being used
in a situation where decay should be prevented, or when it's observed as
being used in a situation where decay is required?  I'd suggest that latter
approach.

I'd also suggest, especially if your goal is to have a language which is
compatible with common C code but doesn't try to follow all the weird
wrinkles, that [] be viewed as operators that operate directly on array
types, rather than as causing an array-to-pointer decay, a pointer indexing
operation, and a pointer dereference.  Among other things, that would make
clear that given:

    register uint8_t arr1[4];

code should be able to access elements of arr1 using [] without requiring
that the array have an address [the Standard requires implementations to
accept code which attempts to access members of register-qualified arrays,
but imposes no requirements upon what the code does; defining it as behaving
like elements in a collection that might not have an address would seem more
sensible].

To decay every time an array type results. And to reverse that when it 
turns out sizeof or & operates on it. (I just to get something working 
so I can see how fast it might be! However, sizeof is already slowing it 
down more than I'd expected.)

For the minute, a[i] reduces to pointer addition and deref operations 
(eg. (deref (addptr (addrof a) i))). However it makes code generation 
simpler if it stays as a higher level, dedicated 'index' operation (eg. 
(index a i)). Easier to reduce down to what will be a single address 
mode a lot of the time, and probably faster.

I'd find that tricky to do anyway. But it's unlikely to come up in the 
unsophisticated code generation I would use.

No, using this array (other than sizeof or _Alignof) is not allowed.
See footnote 121 in ยง6.7.1 where "register" is defined.

Anyway, the "register" keyword is not useful with modern tools - almost
any compiler will do a perfectly good (better than the programmer in
most cases) job of determining what should be kept in registers.  A
local array will be kept in registers if the cpu has enough registers
and the code is more efficient that way - there is no need to declare it
as "register".

C++ has already deprecated the keyword "register" as it is virtually
useless in practice.

The example given is one where a conforming program may use the [] operators
on an object without an address (though such a program could only be strictly
conforming if the code in question were never actually executed).  A more
useful example, though I think the Standard would unfortunately regard it as
a constraint violation despite its usefulness, would be something like:

    struct thing {
      unsigned foo:4[16];
    };

to yield something that could be used as an array of 4-bit values which a
compiler could handle using bit shifts on a 64-bit value, or a combination
of bit-shifting and masking on two 32-bit values, four 16-bit values, 
eight 8-bit values, or any combination of the above that it found convenient.
Some processors include features that would allow the above to be handled
quite efficiently, and if a compiler does include such features it would
probably be easier for a compiler to expose them efficiently using something
like the above than by trying to have an optimizer try to convert user code
which is written with a combination of masks and shifts into a more efficient
combination of indexed bit-field manipulation instructions.

The latter feature would be far more useful than "register", but would
require a language extension.  The "register" construct wouldn't have a whole
lot of uses, but if a structure field of a small array type had a register
qualifier, it might affect the calling convention used with the structure
(if a structure which contains a "uint8_t[4]" and nothing else will not
usually have code take the address of that array, it may be most efficiently
passed and kept in a 32-bit register, but if code will need to take the
address of the array, it may be more efficient to keep the array in memory
and pass around its address).  A compiler that sees a structure definition
would have no way of knowing which usage would be more common, but adding a
"register" qualifier to the array could provide a useful hint, provided that
definitions of the structure in all compilation units either have the
qualifier or lack it.

I don't think there is any way in standard C to apply [] to a register
qualified array.  You cannot even write "sizeof arr1[1]".

Adding general bit and bitfield types into the type system would be 
quite a heavy feature I think, and would require bit and bitfield pointers.

Another way, if restricted to within 64-bit values, would be to do it 
with special operators. I used, for example (in a non-C language):

     A.[i]

to access the i'th bit, and A.[i..j] to extract a bitfield. In yet 
another language, I use A.byte[i] to access the i'th byte of A, whatever 
A happened to be.

Some of these worked as lvalues too. It might just be possible I think 
for such operators to be lvalues for assignments without introducing 
general-purpose bit pointers.

But isn't the C way to do this sort of thing with macros? It wouldn't be 
as nice, but then you don't need to do anything to the language.

I can't see why an implementation can't decide to keep a small 32- or 
64-bit array in a register anyway. It doesn't need intervention within 
the code.

It would be a heavy feature to *mandate*.  Some processors, however, do have
instructions which accept an address in one register, a sub-word index in
another, and can easily load or store a value from a portion of a word, and
it would seem useful to have a standard syntax which, if accepted, would have
a consistent meaning.  Even if all implementations supported it, there would
likely be some where it was used often and some where it never got used, so
allowing implementers to support it or not based upon customer requirements
would seem better than mandating support everywhere.

On the other hand, allowing implementations to either support it or not at
their leisure would impose almost no cost on those implementers that chose
not to support it.  All they would have to do is read enough about the
feature to decide they don't want to support it, and refrain from defining
macros with certain names that would indicate that support was available.

I see no reason such a construct would require bit- or bitfield pointers.
Code which wants to access an item of such an array would need a pointer to
the enclosing structure as well as the index of the array.  It would be
necessary to regard foo[i] as having a meaning which isn't always the same
as *(foo+i), but that's not really much different from saying that, given

    struct foo {int x,y; } *fooPtr;

fooPtr->y has a meaning which isn't exactly equivalent to

    *(int*)(offsetof(struct foo, y) + (char*)fooPtr)

even though how the latter form is essentially how foo->y was defined in
C74.

A problem with macros is that it's much harder for a compiler to figure
out that the purpose of a mass of shifts and bit masks is to store a
half-byte value into an indexed collection of them, and replace that mass
with a bitfield-store instruction, than it would be for the compiler to
take a syntax like ptr->member[i], recognize that as applying the []
operator to an array of 4-bit fields, and generate a bitfield-store
instruction from that.

Depending upon how a structure is used, it may be more efficient to have
code pass around an address to something that simply sits in memory, or it
may be more efficient to have a caller load the object from memory into
a register and require that the called function write it to memory so it
can create a pointer to it.  More notably, a "register" qualifier could
indicate that an array within a structure would not be accessed via means
other than through the structure-type lvalue.  Given, e.g.

    struct foo {int x[4]; };

a compiler which had a "struct foo*" and an "int*", both of unknown
provenance, would have to assume that any access to the "int*" might be
an access to the array within the struct foo.  A register qualifier
could entitle a compiler to ignore such aliasing.

Great.  That's exactly the current situation.  Implementations are
free to support general bit and bitfield types *as an extension*.
They can even collaborate to settle on consistent syntax and
semantics, and perhaps document it as a secondary standard.
There's no particular need to change the C stndaard itself.

The Standard would regard any program that uses such a feature as
"non-conforming" and would mandate that any conforming implementation
output a diagnostic upon receipt of such a construct, even if the
implementation supported the feature in question.

Further, if the Standard defines a behavior for an optional construct,
that would offer some assurance that neither the Standard nor other
implementations will define a construct which is incompatible with it,
which could help overcome chicken-and-egg friction.

How many features in C11 offer a systems programmer any useful semantics
that weren't available in some C implementations even prior to the
publication of the C89 Standard?  There have been some things like
"restrict" which allow programmers to invite compilers to make useful
optimizations, and variadic macros and generics could be useful, and
64-bit integer types are nice on hardware that supports them but making
those mandatory rather than optional (and of course strongly recommended)
makes the language less suitable for use on smaller platforms.

If the authors of the Standard were more open to recognizing optional
features that would be useful on some platforms but not others, that
would facilitate useful innovation.  As it is, the language really seems
quite stagnant.

No, it would fit within the Standard's (very weak) definition of the
term "conforming program".

Yes.  So use the compiler in non-conforming mode if you want to use the
extension.

I thought that conforming programs were required to be well formed if they
don't contain any #pragma directives or reserved identifiers for which the
Standard defines no meaning.  Otherwise, any source file could be turned
into a conforming program with the aid of an "implementation" which checks
whether it matches some hard-coded reference file, outputs a hard-coded
executable if so, and otherwise feeds the program to a "real" implementation.

That would be possible, but for whatever reason compiler writers have been
extremely loath to extend the language via any means other than by defining
reserved identifiers--among other things because they have no way of knowing
whether any syntax they decide to use might be given an incompatible meaning
by a future standard.  Saying "a compiler may either accept X and give it a
certain meaning, or reject X" would suggest that future standards would be
unlikely to give X a contrary meaning.

Why did you think that, and what exactly does "well formed" mean?  (The
C++ standard uses the term "well-formed"; the C standard does not.)

By definition (N1570 4p7):

    A *conforming program* is one that is acceptable to a conforming
    implementation.

Yes, that is what the standard's definition of "conforming program"
implies.  It's not a particularly useful concept as far as I can tell.
I think I've read that it was added to the standard (it appears in C90)
for political reasons.

There's some discussion in the ANSI C Rationale,
https://www.lysator.liu.se/c/rat/a.html#1-7 .

Most of the extensions provided by gcc are not defined in that way.  I'm
less familiar with extensions provided by other compilers.

The gcc extensions I'm familiar with that don't use reserved identifiers go
back a long time.  I'm not positive, but I think they predate the C89 Standard
and the authors of gcc had hoped that the Standard would regard programs using
such extensions as being well formed and not requiring a diagnostic.

I'd be curious to know of gcc extensions that don't use reserved identifiers
and don't predate C89.  I'm pretty certain that zero-size arrays (offering
the semantics of what C99 would eventually support via Flexible Array
Members, but with slightly different syntax) were present from the early days,
as was the ({  }) syntax for statement expressions, // syntax for comments,
and the ability to use anonymous aggregate members.

What syntactic innovations came later?

I've not found information about gcc versions prior to about 1997.  It seems
that development split because one group was too conservative, while another
wanted to add things like "New alias analysis support from John F. Carr".  I
would be genuinely interested in knowing whether that fork represents the
first time that anyone involved with gcc gave serious thought to the notion
that a quality compiler given something like:

    void force_float_negative(float *f1)
    {
      *(unsigned long*)f1 |= 0x80000000;
    }

should optimize on the presumption that such a function won't actually be
used to access something of the passed-in pointer type.  I can't find any
substantive information about previous versions or the documentation
therefor, however.  I remember having noticed most of the aforementioned
features when looking at the documentation for gcc in the early 1990s when
it was being used to write code for a CPU compatible with the Motorola
68000.
