Do you know why Microsoft objected to VLAs? I've searched the web a bit but wasn't able to find anything with any real substance. > It's a shame, because the baby of variably modified array types was > thrown out with the VLA bath water. I don't think any of MS's > objections apply to variably modified types in the absence of VLAs I agree about variably modified types as contrasted with VLAs. But I confess to being somewhat baffled by the reaction that VLAs are a deal breaker. Implementing VLAs shouldn't be that hard, if one is willing to accept a minimally usable implementation. So I wonder what it was that Microsoft found so difficult to swallow.
