Re: [U-Boot] C99 and dynamic arrays

Dear Simon Glass,

Given that we seem to allow C99 features in U-Boot I wonder if it would be OK to use dynamic arrays in SPL?

Strange. I can see the follow-ups, but I cannot see the original posting?

In the function pow_mod(), I would like to replace:

val = malloc(key->len * sizeof(uint32_t));

with:

uint32_t val[key->len];

malloc() adds at least 1KB, perhaps 2KB.

I think it is perfectly OK to do that. Actually I think we already do this in a number of places.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
