The following line of code, which creates a variable-length array on the stack:
char name[length] = {'\0'};Generates the following compiler diagnostics:
error: variable-sized object may not be initializedwarning: excess elements in array initializerwarning: (near initialization for ‘name’)What options are available to me for initializing VLAs? Am I forced to use a line such as:
memset(name, 0, sizeof(name));Instead?
