ISO C++ forbids variable-size array (compilation error)

Normally I always compiled my C code like this: g++ program.c -o program.exe

But my college professor requires me to compile using:g++ -o -Wall -Wextra -Werror -pedantic -std=c++0x program.exe program.c

(Which is new for me).

So ... I run the command and get the following error:

eda.c: In function ‘int main()’:
eda.c:200: error: ISO C++ forbids variable-size array ‘v’
eda.c:207: error: ISO C++ forbids variable-size array ‘nfloat’
cc1plus: warnings being treated as errors
eda.c:215: warning: suggest a space before ‘;’ or explicit braces around empty body in         ‘while’ statement

And this is the code of my program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>


typedef struct {
    float* data;
    int size;
} vector;

These are the lines that give errors:

200: vector *v[n];
207: float nfloat[numsvector];
215: while (*(p++) != ',') ; //Now I think works fine with the extra space..

please could someone help me compile the file?
