Which compiler is he using?  The code quoted is C++, and GCC is less  
strict in its implementation of C++ standards than other compilers,  
particularly Sun Studio (e.g. allowing the dimensioning of arrays  
using variables, as in "int d=6; int v[d]; " - that is not valid C++  
but would compile in GCC).  . The Qt people found this out when trying  
to port Qt to Sun, and have been revising Qt to make sure the  
proprietary compilers can compile it.

Matt Smith
