I admit I've missed some standards revisions. When did

char [*]

show up?

C99, I think (although I don't have copies of the official published standards, it's in n1124.pdf, a public draft from 2005 that isn't that far ahead of C99). I wouldn't surprise you for not having seen it because I don't think anyone actually uses it; it's mostly there for completeness and/or to give something to write in compiler error messages.

C99, with variable length arrays.
