alloca(3) was considered slightly unsafe, because use if it was rare. Your

So I've been wondering about variable length arrays from c99 for a while
now. They seem to me like a good way to avoid lots of trivial calls to
malloc/free at least for smaller arrays that aren't going to blow up the
stack. That said I don't see them being used.
The promise of them seems

Read the source tree. No
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.
Aside from the compiler, you need to consider the C library if you
have to have full C99 compliance for some reason. It doesn't

Is there another compiler I can use that ships with OpenBSD?
