c - how to initialize a variable-sized object -

is possible initialize variable-sized object struct ip_addresses ip_addr[no_of_users] below?

void foo(int no_of_users){     struct ip_addresses{        char ipaddr[16];     };     struct ip_addresses ip_addr[no_of_users];     //..... }  int main(void){     int no_of_users = 4;     foo(no_of_users);      return 0; } 

you cannot initialize variable-length arrays. c 2011 (n1570) 6.7.9, “initialization”, paragraph 3:

the type of entity initialized shall array of unknown size or complete object type not variable length array type.

you must assign values array method, such loop assigning each element.
