hi
according to ansi c standards all declarations have to to be at the

which means the program below should not work.. i compiled this using

For C90 yes but not for C99.

but it is working fine..
this might be fine with g++ but i used gcc...
int main()
{
int i;
scanf("%d",&i);
int a[i];
a[i-1]=128;
printf("%d",a[i-1]);
}
is this a bug or just for compatability with c++...
Not this is for C99 compatibility. In fact you are using VLAs which
are part of C99
and not part of C++ at all.
