You can kinda do this in C - you can initialize a variable as a pointer, 
and then allocate memory to the buffer as needed - but you have to 
allocate the memory or you can end up corrupting your data in memory (at 
best, at worst you could overwrite the program in memory if you're not 
careful).

But you can't just append data to it, you do have to allocate the memory 
yourself (as a programmer).
