I get the following error when compiling my sketch:

The version of Arduino is 1.8.10.

Hi @pdmartinson , can you post a simple sketch that we can use to reproduce the issue? Eg. try removing some functions (even if the sketch doesn't do anything useful afterwards but still fails to compile) and attach it here, thanks.

Hello, I encountered the same error and have a simple reproduction:

this code gives a different error:

struct A {
    int y[];
    int z[];
};

A a1 = {
    .y = { 1, 2, 3 },
    .z = { 4, 5, 6 }
};

void setup() {

}

void loop() {
    // force usage
    Serial.println(a1.y[0]);
    Serial.println(a1.z[0]);
}

  int y[];
