Python Community Server: Development

Just as an experiment, I've exported all the posts from this Radio blog out into bzero format. A bit of hackery was required to get the comments lining up properly (bzero postids are different from Radio ones) but it looks like everything's going OK now.

From a page on MSDN:

    Compiler Error C2057
    expected constant expression

    The context requires a constant expression.

Ooh, informative.

Hmm ... looks like GCC is a little more flexible at allocating memory than MSVC:

C:\1>g++ -Wall foo.c
foo.c: In function `int main()':
foo.c:4: warning: unused variable `char y[((bar - 1) + 1)]'

C:\1>cl /Wall foo.c

foo.c
foo.c(4) : error C2057: expected constant expression
