Re: egcs / g++ conflicts c++ draft standard (i think)

It already does:

~>g++ tst.cc
tst.cc:6: warning: ANSI C++ forbids initialization of const member `qtd'
tst.cc:6: warning: making `qtd' static

| > -- Dynamic allocation of array bounds (no const bounds)

Nevertheless, you need -pedantic before you get a warning:

~>g++ -pedantic tst.cc
tst.cc: In function `int main(int, char **)':
tst.cc:13: warning: ANSI C++ forbids variable-size array `dynarray'

I think that this warning should also be given, or probably even
be turned into an error, when compiling with -ansi :

~>g++ -ansi -Wall tst.cc
~>

(No warning or error)
