The status for the cvs trunk is here: http://gcc.gnu.org/c99status.html

Rats. I found that straight off, but I was hoping it was out of date. I'm longing for variable-length C99 arrays.

Thanks for the link though.

GCC does support VLAs.

I was referring specifically to C99 variable-length arrays, not the GCC extension that has been around for some time.

According to the document linked above, the current status of of C99 variable-length arrays is "broken."
