Description of problem:
Destruction of local array of objects dynamically resolves array size;
the should be stored when array is allocated.

For example, allocate and array on the stack with:

  std::string  list[f()];

When the variable goes out of scope, the array elements are
destructed. But the length of the array comes from invoking f() again!
The compiler should store the allocated size rather than invoke the
sizing function again as the return value could be different.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile attached program with g++
2. Run a.out
   

Actual Results:  Program crashes because sizing function is called a
second time. Perhaps this is a heavy handed demonstration, but that
was the original problem I faced.

Expected Results:  No crash. Proper deallocation.

Additional info:

Failure occurs with:
  g++ (GCC) 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-42).

Problem does not occur with:
  g++ (GCC) 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
