Yeah, it's annoying that writing functions with VLA arguments whose size follows them requires old-style function declaration syntax, but the solution to that would be to fix the rules for ANSI-syntax prototypes to say that array dimension expressions will be evaluated at the start of the function's execution and need not be resolved until then. | |
