Hi,
I was surprised to find that the following code compiles (and runs)
successfully under gcc 4.0.2 (and 3.3.3) :
void SomeFunc(int array_size)
{
int arr[array_size];
// use array ...
}
Should this compile? My version of Stroustrup's 'The C++ Programming
Language (c) 2000' states in section 5.2: "The number of elements of the
array, the array bound, must be a constant expression".
Is this by any chance a gcc extension?
Regards
Stuart
