Hello people,
I've used to work with Dev-Cpp for more than a year, but only yesterday I've noticed that this code is compiled OK.
Does anyone know other bugs (if I can call it that way)?Code:int main ( void ) { int size = 10; char test[size]; }
Also does this mean that in past this was legal but Standard made new rules?
Thanks

I think that's allowed in the C99 standard and GCC has the biggest support for it.

You're probably just compiling that code as C++ code.
Or it's defaulting to using C99 standard as I think that's legal in C99.
Adding
-ansi -pedantic
makes a pretty good job of making sure you don't slip into compiler specific extensions.
Also choose one of
-std=c89
-std=c99
if you're using a really new GNU compiler, and want to make sure your code is to a specific standard.
-W -Wall -O2
flush out lots of other interesting stuff which may present problems.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Well, I didn't know it's legal in C99. I learned something new today

It's legal in C99, but is not legal in C++.
Yeah, that code does not compile on GCC 4.
