Maciej,

Sorry for being a bit rude but...

> float norm(const vector<float> & v);
> 
> // and then:
> vector<float> v(100);

is simpler written as:

    float v[100];

and the point was about a constraint not known at compile time.

AFAIK

     int N;

     N = <value computed at runtime>;

     vector<float> v(N);

Is not C++. And this was only a simple example for the OP. I'm talking 
about all objects whose constraint are not known at compile time.

Pascal.
