cMigrating to C18 with Optional VLA Support: Uncertain Runtime Impact
Goal We plan to upgrade a small C application that relies on Variable Length Arrays (VLAs) to C18 while keeping the service running. Constraints In C18 (C11), VLA support is optional; many compilers still provide it as an extension, but some omit it entirely. If a compiler silently removes VLA support, the program may allocate stack memory incorrectly, leadi
