Cannot allocate array

[saneman]

I get the following error when I try to allocate the below code:

cannot allocate an array of constant size 0

int main() {
int dim = 3;
int b[dim][dim];

return 0;
}
What am I doing wrong?

Not using a C99 compiler.

To be legal c++, you should uee a const:

const size_t dim = 3;

const int dim = 3; would be fine too.
