From d4c44443b665ee8e6bd638b5c1b3fa6aa2a1226c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boyd Lynn Gerber Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2008 09:26:15 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] progress.c: avoid use of dynamic-sized array Dynamically sized arrays are gcc and C99 construct. Using them hurts portability to older compilers, although using them is nice in this case it is not desirable. This patch removes the only use of the construct in stop_progress_msg(); the function is about writing out a single line of a message, and the existing callers of this function feed messages of only bounded size anyway, so use of dynamic array is simply overkill.
