If it is ANSI then it is very recent ANSI (like, '99) and maybe it's not
even ANSI at all. In any case, many compilers still in use won't like it.
I mean, there was this other thing about VC++6 not understanding for-local
variables; that feature is part of ANSI C++ '95 and GCC supported it back
in '97...

Anyway... as far as I know, stack-allocated variable-length arrays are a
GCC extension, and if it even became ANSI, it happened too recently to be
something you can rely on in other compilers.
