Array declaration problem

[Daok]

const usi iSize= SizeOfMyFile(File);

char sFile[iSize];

Error :

1-Expected constant expression
2-cannot allocate an array of constant size 0
3-unknows size

In visual basic you cant declare Consts with arguments
cause it has no preprocessor.

Is that still true in C++?

Evan is right. You have to use some immediate value that the compiler can resolve. Not something that arises only during run-time.

I hate that grrr

You have to use new if you want to have an array of dynamic or runtime-determined size.

[Daok]

Tell me if that good :

const usi iSize= SizeOfMyFile(File);

char sFile = new char[iSize];

[CornedBee]

if the first line is inside a function it's ok, else remove the const.

ok thank you
