      Since then any use of "variable length arrays" has become blasphemous.
      Even in perfectly good, beautiful, perfectly safe code like the one
      below where the variable length arrays are only used as a sizeof()
      parameter, for type-safe dynamic structure allocations. GCC is not
      executing any stack allocation code.
      
      I have produced a small file which defines two functions main1(unsigned numdevs)
      and main2(unsigned numdevs). main1 uses code as before with call to malloc
      and main2 uses code as of after this patch. I compiled it as:
      	gcc -O2 -S see_asm.c
      and here is what I get:
      
      <see_asm.s>
      main1:
      .LFB7:
      	.cfi_startproc
      	mov	%edi, %edi
      	leaq	4(%rdi,%rdi), %rdi
      	salq	$3, %rdi
      	jmp	malloc
      	.cfi_endproc
      .LFE7:
      	.size	main1, .-main1
      	.p2align 4,,15
      	.globl	main2
      	.type	main2, @function
      main2:
      .LFB8:
      	.cfi_startproc
      	mov	%edi, %edi
      	addq	$2, %rdi
      	salq	$4, %rdi
      	jmp	malloc
      	.cfi_endproc
      .LFE8:
      	.size	main2, .-main2
      	.section	.text.startup,"ax",@progbits
      	.p2align 4,,15
      </see_asm.s>
      
      *Exact* same code !!!
      
      So please seriously consider not accepting this patch and leave the
      perfectly good code intact.
