C++ Qt5.12.1 - variable length array of QLabels

[jimbo]

Hello,

Qt Creator 4.8.2


int qty = 6;
QLabel *topLabel[qty], *numLabel[qty];

for( int i = 0; i < qty; i++)
{
topLabel[i] = newQLabel(topLabel[i]);
topLabel[i]->setGeometry(20+(i*108),20,102,67);
topLabel[i]->setFrameStyle(QFrame::StyledPanel|QFrame::Sunken);
topLabel[i]->setLineWidth(4);
numLabel[i] = newQLabel(topLabel[i]);
numLabel[i]->setGeometry(2,86,100,70);
numLabel[i]->setAlignment(Qt::AlignHCenter|Qt::AlignVCenter);
numLabel[i]->setStyleSheet("QLabel{color:blue;}");
numLabel[i]->setFont(*font);
}

warning: variable length arrays are a C99 feature

It compiled without warnings on an earlier version of Qt.
Now the program compiles and runs OK, but with various warnings, this being one of them.
If I turn off clang, all warnings are gone.
Suggestions please.

Arrays in C (and C++) are defined to have a fixed length, requiring the argument passed to [] to be a build-time constant (numeric literal, numeric constant, enum value, C++ const-expr).
E.g. in your case making qty a "const int"

If the length is only available at run time, then the obvious way in C++ is a vector, e.g. QVector or std::vector
