Indeed, which was exactly why I asked the question :-) I am not aware of any significant platform that does not have proper alloca() support -- and it's hard to imagine a platform that would support C99 VLAs but not alloca(). But I've been surprised before ;-) -- meem _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
