Description joe.bassis 2011-04-07 19:40:19 UTC 
Currently, -fstack-protector(-all) is only available for normal arrays. Please add support for VLAs as well.

Currently:
char str[13] = "Hello World!";

Wishlist:
char str[variablelength];

-fstack-protector has worked for VLA since at least GCC 4.1.2 (which was released in 2007). So closing as works for me.
