Description
- crash on invalid input
- bug found from fuzzing
## Minimized Code
```c
g(h(x)...)
```
## Full Example Code
```c
int g(int);
int h(int);
int x = 0;
g(h(x)...); // crash
```
Note:
- Crash only found in clang, not present in clang++
- If the same statement is moved inside a function (ex. main()), or assigned to a variable, the crash does not occur.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash with the minimized code and the full example in Clang, using the linked CompilerExplorer case if helpful. Compare the same inputs in clang++ and with the statement moved inside a function or assigned to a variable; done means the global-scope ellipsis input no longer crashes and the relevant regression coverage passes.
