I was wondering if following is legal in (ANSI) C:

int somefunc(int i)
{
	int  array[i]; /* Can I use i here ? */
 ...
}


or


int i;

int somefunc(void)
{
	int  array[i]; /* How about here ? */
 ...
}

I tried to figure it out from K&R. It went clearly
over my understanding. 

Gcc seems to accept both.

Thanks for advance,
