Third round: I agree with Jorge that this is quite too complex; and
profiling shows no performance gain of using the heap over using the
stack, so I've replaced it by new and delete. Cris: please test the
latest version from hg, it should compile now.

I've tried to force g++ to raise an error in this case, by using this
example:

---
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
   int n = rand() % 10 + 1;
   char c[n];
}
---

but both "g++ -std=c++98 test.cc" and "g++ -std=c++11 test.cc" do not
complain. Does someone have an idea? ("g++ --version" => "g++ (Debian
4.7.2-5) 4.7.2")
