Compile Error with Visual C++ .NET (7.0)

[Tobias Erbsland]

I got some compile errors with Visual C++ .NET (7.0):
(latest CVS checkout)

urlstring.cpp
d:\commoncpp2\src\urlstring.cpp(266) : error C2057: expected constant
expression
d:\commoncpp2\src\urlstring.cpp(266) : error C2466: cannot allocate an
array of constant size 0
d:\commoncpp2\src\urlstring.cpp(266) : error C2133: 'buffer' : unknown size
d:\commoncpp2\src\urlstring.cpp(284) : error C2057: expected constant
expression
d:\commoncpp2\src\urlstring.cpp(284) : error C2466: cannot allocate an
array of constant size 0
d:\commoncpp2\src\urlstring.cpp(284) : error C2133: 'buffer' : unknown size
d:\commoncpp2\src\urlstring.cpp(301) : error C2057: expected constant
expression
d:\commoncpp2\src\urlstring.cpp(301) : error C2466: cannot allocate an
array of constant size 0
d:\commoncpp2\src\urlstring.cpp(301) : error C2133: 'buffer' : unknown size

All functions in this kind:

CCXX_EXPORT(String) b64Encode(const String& src)
{
  size_t limit = (src.length()+2)/3*4+1;  // size + null must be included
  char buffer[limit];

  unsigned size = b64Encode((const unsigned char *)src.c_str(),
src.length(), buffer, limit);
  buffer[size] = '\0';

  return String(buffer);
}

must replaced by:

CCXX_EXPORT(String) b64Encode(const String& src)
{
  size_t limit = (src.length()+2)/3*4+1;  // size + null must be included
  char* buffer = new char[limit];

  unsigned size = b64Encode((const unsigned char *)src.c_str(),
src.length(), buffer, limit);
  buffer[size] = '\0';

  String str(buffer);
  delete[] buffer;

  return str;
}
