## Message

```
translate-c: Use [N:0] arrays when initializer is a string literal (#8264)

* translate-c: Use [N:0] arrays when initializer is a string literal

Translate incomplete arrays as [N:0] when initialized by a string literal.
This preserves a bit more of the type information from the original C program.

Fixes #8215
