I'm trying to find a compiler that supports variable length arrays.
I'm currently taking a computer science class and noticed that gcc's

i think you'll be hard pressed to come up with an example that doesn't
actually work for you.
Thanks. I'm a student and just getting started and my instructor was
telling the class how the schools version copies of MS Visual C 6.0 is
not C99 compliant and that some of the examples in the book[0] fail to
compile. I read up on GCC 3.3.5 and it appears that it is mostly
compliant with a few issues, including the variable length arrays which
happens to be on one of my homework assignments. But it looks like I'll
be ok.
By the way, if anyone has any pointers (no pun intended) for a CS
newbie, any help and recommendations are always appeciated. I like the
OpenBSD development community and hope to contribute some code and
patches in the future.
