Richard,

in gimplify_vla_decl, the alloca argument seems to be the size of the vla in units:
...
  t = build_call_expr (t, 1, DECL_SIZE_UNIT (decl));
...

I wonder why we are going through this 8 vs. BITS_PER_UNIT conversion here:
...
  elem_type = build_nonstandard_integer_type (BITS_PER_UNIT, 1);
  n_elem = size * 8 / BITS_PER_UNIT;
  align = MIN (size * 8, BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT);
...
The element size is BITS_PER_UNIT, so 1 unit, and size is in units.

Shouldn't this be:
...
...

Thanks,
- Tom

No, the size is in bytes and the gimplify code lacks the conversion.
