Is it a good idea to use C99 VLA compared to malloc/free?

Question

Is it a good idea to use C99 VLA? When is it appropriate to use VLA compared to malloc/free? (since VLA may blow up stack?)

Answer 1

For a good list of C99-related links (including links to information about variable-length arrays) see:

Xcode now defaults to use C99 - so what's C99?
