[Bug c++/18894] New: Array declaration in functions accepting variable size

In a c++ source file, the following code compiles cleanly:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void foo(int n) {
   int myArray[n];
   for (int i=0 ; i<n ; i++)
      myArray[i] = i;
}

int main()
{
   int z = 1000;
   foo(z);
   cout << "returning from foo..." << endl;
   return 0;
}


I believe this is incorrect behavior for the C++ standard--compilation should
fail on "int myArray[n];" in the function "foo(int n)".
