 This is a GCC extension so it is not a bug, use -pedantic or 
 -pedantic-errors to see that they are not accepted.
 I get some warnings or errors if -pedantic-errors:
 
 test2.cc: In function `int main()':
 test2.cc:7: warning: ISO C++ forbids variable-size array `arr'
 test2.cc:9: warning: ISO C++ forbids variable-size array `arr2'
 
 Thanks,
 Andrew Pinski
 
 PS can someone close this bug as it is not really a bug but a 
 misunderstanding of GCC extensions.
