Subject: Update c99status.html
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2009 20:33:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0904192029020.23238@digraph.polyomino.org.uk> (raw)

I've applied this patch to update c99status.html regarding the status of 
VLAs and stdint.h.  Although there are some technical issues for VLAs 
remaining for which I've filed the listed PRs, I think listing them as 
"Done" is now fair as these corner cases are unlikely to be found in 
ordinary code.
