Variable length array

[Luigi Pilo]

Trying to compile the following with gcc version 2.7.2.1 or egcs-1.0.3

int main()
{
   int dim; 
   dim = 3;  
   
   /* GNU variable length array */
   int gnu_array[dim]; 
   return 0;
} 

I get:
test.c: In function `main':
test.c:7: parse error before `int' .

The problem disappear replacing "int dim; dim = 3;" by
"int dim = 3;"  .
