RE: [Dev-C++] Dev-C++ Users Beware!

Hello!
=20
You are right. =96ansi does not generate any warnings. I useed it with
=96pedantic option.
I used MSYS and MinGW (latest, see below)
>gcc -v
gcc version 2.95.3-6 (mingw special)
=20
I noticed that MinGW that ships with Dev-C++ 4.0(1) is slightly older.
>gcc =96v
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
=20
I tried it with Dev-C++ 4.1 and =84original=93 compiler. I got worning I
mentioned.
I tried it on command line and it =84worked=93 fine also.

Try playing around if you really want to see a little warning message ;)

Andres,

If it is GNUC extension, that greatly relieves my concern, however none
of the compiler switches you mention generate any warnings. I tried them
individually and in combination in both the compiler options and the
project options. It is possible that the Bloodshed IDE is not passing
the switches properly to the compiler, but I doubt it.=20

-Yes. Variable sized arrays are GNUC extension.

If you use =96ansi or =96pedantic switches on commandline, you get only
warning:
=20
test.cpp: In function `int main()':
test.cpp:12: warning: ANSI C++ forbids variable-size array `myArray'
