Why am I not getting a compile error when declaring a C array with variable size?

My understand has always been that when I declare an array on the stack with a size that comes in as a variable or parameter, I should get an error. However, I noticed that I do not get any error if I do not explicitly initialize the array (yes, it won't be on the stack, but I'm wondering about the lack of error). For example, the foll...

There will not be more t...

Will I be able to store it as a byte or do I need to store it as ...

(Ruby) If the array intersection operator ( & ) is inefficient, why is it available?

I asked a question yesterday about comparing ranges for overlap and its been stuck in my throat ever since. The consensus seems to be that my preferred answer which involves using the array intersection operator (&), is inefficient because comparing arrays is costly. I wonder then, why this feature is in the language? Could it be that ...

How does delete[] know it's an array? (C++)

Alright, I think we all agree that what happens with the following code is undefined, depending on what is passed void deleteForMe(int* pointer) { delete[] pointer; } The pointer could be all sorts of different things, and so performing an unconditional delete[] on it is undefined. However, let's assume that we are indeed passing...
