Hi,
darktable is written in C99, which has introduced variable length arrays
into the C programming language. This feature is used several times in
the darktable source. Therefore, I wonder why the file
compiler-warnings.cmake contains the line
CHECK_COMPILER_FLAG_AND_ENABLE_IT(-Wvla)
Furthermore, the darktable source contains at several places the pragma
#pragma GCC diagnostic warning "-Wvla"
I do not understand why these warnings are enforced. In the case that
there is something wrong with variable length arrays we should avoid
them completely. Otherwise one should remove the warnings.
