I'm not confusing them. That's why I said flexible array member and not VLA.

I don't need a lecture. I have actually lectured on C before.

I do have them bucketed similarly in my mind. They are both c99 features about variable sized arrays. MS has not implemented either one iirc.

Flexible array members were implemented a long time ago. The oldest Visual C++ I have at hand is 2005 and it already has them (although only in C mode).
