Re: [PATCH 16/16] fix handling of integer constant expressions

sparse simply doesn't check that. We don't have anything resembling
support of VLA. Note that check for integer constant expression
has nothing to do with that;

int x[(int)(0.6 + 0.6)];

is valid (if stupid).

It isn't valid; it fails the test twice. Both 0.6 are not "immediate
operands of casts". Their sum is, but that's irrelevant.
Therefore the dimension is not an ICE and a diagnostic is required.
