I intended the use of the verb "to program" to suggest that the intent
matters.  A lot of code posted here would go though a C++ compiler but
the people who wrote it were not programming in C++.

Even with this interpretation (which I agree was not well put) you have
a point.  There are certainly people who are deliberately programming in
C11 despite having to do so within the constraints of what their
implementation will accept.

You've heard of them now, and you've been told more than once what
they are and where to find more information about them.

I believe you are deliberately trolling.  If not, you are being
willfully ignorant.  You are also making a fool of yourself in the
presence of a number of people who know much more about this than
you do.  In any case, it appears that any further discussion with you
would be a waste of my time; your benefit of the doubt has run out.

Just an observation I spotted recently:  Paul Graham has argued that
programmers looking down the language power scale know they are looking
down ("Why would anyone program in language X?  It doesn't even have
feature Y!") but programmers looking up often don't know they are looking
up.  They see weird languages with hairy features that they've never
seen the need for.

No one else here would be so short-sighted, but I often think of this
whenever I see a hairy feature in some language I don't know.

I know exactly what you mean. I've had to deal with several new
languages recently, including Haskall and Lua (at least, they're new to
me). Lua looks reasonably familiar, but Haskall leaves me feeling the
same way you describe. For all I know it may have some significant
advantages compared to the languages I'm more familiar with, at least
for some uses, but for now just the simple conceptual differences are so
daunting that it's difficult to imagine what those advantages might be.
Fortran I (sic) and APL were the first two computer languages I learned,
and I learned them equally easily - but that was three decades ago, and
my mind's a lot less flexible now. :-(

yes i was left with a badly bruised brain after trying Haskall

well I'm told functional languages are goign to become more important
as we get more and more processors (cores?) in our systems.

http://www.gotw.ca/publications/concurrency-ddj.htm

Since Moore's law doesn't seem to have gone away I suspect the number
of processors is goignt o rise exponentially. And funtional languages
are supposed to handle this well. They don't modify anything
9conceptually at least) so you distribute the processing arbitarily.

Perhaps I should try Erlang it looks less daunting.

Allocating memory without the means to check if the allocation was 
successful and, if not, to gracefully recover from it is something that, in 
spite of all those decades having passed, still doesn't sit well with some 
people.  That, and the segfaults that can be triggered by it.

Its the same allocation used everytime you call a function with the same check 
for successful allocation of the stack frame. Since that disturbs you so much, 
we can revive the Fortran 66 calling conventions: no recursion whatsoever. That 
means each function can have only one active stack frame at a time, so those can 
be staticly allocated. That way you will know whether each stack frame is 
allocated at exec.

Sounds good. Forward to 1966!

There is a significant difference between allocating a couple of bytes, and 
allocating buffers with an undetermined size.  If you understand this 
difference then you will be able to understand why VLAs, as they were added 
to C, can be frowned upon.

If blowing up the stack doesn't disturb you then you are on the wrong line 
of business, or not in the business at all.  Others are, and they have to 
anticipate any problem which might be caused by it.

I think your complaints can be addressed with

int fn(int siz)
{
	int tab[siz<1000?siz:1000];
	int *p;

	if (siz >= 1000)
		p = malloc(siz*sizeof(int));
	else
		p = &tab[0];
	// Use p here instead of tab directly
	// and at the end of the function:
	if (siz >= 1000) {
		free(siz);
	}
}

If you know that your data will almost never go beyond 200 you will 
almost always win, without EVER having a HARD-WIRED limit and using
almost always a fast stack allocation.

As you may know, VLAs DECREASE stack usage since in most cases
you do:

#define MAXDATA 2000
int fn(void)
{
	int tab[MAXDATA];
}

even if you know that in most cases the data will be 200 or so.
WITH a FIXED stack allocation you have to go to the worst
case...

VLAs give you the needed flexibility.

That should have been
int tab[siz<1000?siz:1];

of course, to avoid taking anyway 1000 bytes of stack even if we are 
going to allocate it anyway.

I didn't stated that VLAs are all evil, all the time.  They can be handy in 
some cases, including the ones you pointed out.  I believe VLAs usefulness 
shines through in cases where a fixed size array is declared with a size 
large enough to fit every conceivable need, and replacing it a VLA will make 
it possible to save a bit of memory.

In spite of that, VLAs tend to be sold as what they are not: a sort of 
malloc() replacement which has all the advantages (fast, easy to use, no 
need to manage memory, etc...) and absolutely zero disadvantages.  The www 
is packed with sites showcasing how VLAs are so perfect in every conceivable 
scenario based on examples which are a bit worrisome, such as using them to 
define dense matrices of an undetermined size and buffers without any size 
cap.  I won't be surprised if in the near future the "C is inherently 
unsafe" mantra will resurface based solely on how VLAs are being marketed 
right now and, as a consequence, how they are/will be employed.

I learned programming using Fortran 77, Pascal, and Algol 61 on CDC 3300s and 
Cyber 170s. I suspect I learned a great deal about allocating loc variables with 
limitted space.

I've been using VM since the 1980s. I realise that VM, like recursion and stack 
allocation are radical concepts that have been around for a mere 50 years, but I 
have coped with these.

On unix it's easy to monitor a process and respawn everytime it exits. It's easy 
to let a process blow its brain out on a unrecoverable error. I use signal 
handlers for a last second error report, let it die, and respawm. Because I 
debug code before releasing it into the wild, it dies for resource problems 
rather than program errors. Restarting resolves those problems.

You can also get embedded processors on a few chips that run Unix if you want to 
bring up that market.

This is why appeals to authority, particularly those based on a vague notion 
of authority which is meaningless, say nothing about competence, and even 
suggest the lack of it.  If your code is so bad and your understanding of 
the issue is so questionable that they lead you to accept frequent crashes 
as a natural occurrence and, instead of investing your time avoiding those 
crashes by fixing your bugs and avoiding writing them in, you opt to duct 
tape together a CPR system for your programs then it leads me to believe 
that you are in no position to comment on issues such as coding best 
practices, let alone how to write safe code.

I find it acceptable to crash a couple times a year due to unrecoverable 
resource contentions that can only be recoverred by restarting anyway.

That's pretty lame, I must admit. Either your code or your OS blow. I'm
pretty sure I know which it is btw.

How about issuing a helpful error message that accurately and precisely
identifies the exact problem so you won't be accused of being a bullshitter
and an incompetent person who shouldn't be allowed near anything you can
plug in? If you have real resource problems maybe they'll fix them. If not
maybe you'll fix your code.

You may, but many/most of us, our employers and our customers do not.

If it can be recovered by restarting, then it obviously wasn't
unrecoverable in the first place.

Also, what "resource contentions" are causing your code to crash?
Sounds like sloppy coding, where you just accept bugs rather than fix
them, rather than some inevitable problem.
