c99数组长度规定

c99规定数组长度可以为变量，下面的代码合法：
int x ;
int array[x]

标准c++的规定不允许这样（没有具体查，多半我也看不懂c++的标准....）但gcc上面是允许的。
在这种情况下，gcc会调用alloca在栈上分配数据空间，alloca的manual如下：

NAME
       alloca - memory allocator

SYNOPSIS
       #include <alloca.h>

       void *alloca(size_t size);

DESCRIPTION
       The alloca function allocates size bytes of space in the stack frame of
       the caller.  This temporary space is automatically freed when the func-
       tion that called alloca returns to its caller.

RETURN VALUE
       The alloca function returns a pointer to the beginning of the allocated
       space.  If the allocation causes stack overflow, program  behaviour  is
       undefined.
