Hey guys,
I am wondering if it is possible to receive a value from a command line that creates an array of that size?
Is the more 'sophisticated' method of doing this to use malloc()?
Thanks.

Yes, it is possible.Originally Posted by Cell
I am not sure how 'sophisticated' it is, but it is the usual way. In C99 you also have the option of variable length arrays.

Thank you.
So if I am using a VLA, is it as simple as:
Because I have been having some issues using this.Code:int TEST; printf("Message size?\n"); scanf("%d", &TEST); int string[TEST];
Thanks.
yes.
Are you compiling in the C99 mode?
All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

Is C99 mode standard in gcc?
If it compiles without warnings with you scattering variables throughout your code like that, then yes, it's in C99 (or some bastardized) mode.
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
The option to force GCC to use the C99 standard is "-std=c99" I believe.
You should confirm with your man pages.
