Re: More Compiler Errors: Visual C++ .NET (7.0)

[David Sugar]

Originally I assumed later VS compilers (7.0, net, etc) would correctly 
support dynamic sized local heap arrays.  There is a controlling #if that 
checked the _MSC_VER to see if it was newer than 6.0 for this.  Appearently 
that is not the case.  I eventually replaced this with a new config symbol, 
DYNAMIC_LOCAL_ARRAYS, which is tested for, and which is NOT defined in the 
w32/config.h header.  Eventually I will make an autoconf case for testing for 
this on posix systems that are not using gcc , based on try_compile.  In any 
case, this is all updated in sf cvs for 1.1.
