Hi Tyler,

> As per guidance technical board meeting 2024/04/17. This series
> removes the use of VLAs from code built for Windows for all 3
> toolchains. If there are additional opportunities to convert VLAs
> to regular C arrays please provide the details for incorporation
> into the series.

I submitted the RFC series:
https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=3D31781
that provides alternate approach to VLA removal (without alloca())
for core libs.
Feel free to re-use whatever is appropriate in your series.=20
If time permits, I'll try to look to other libs from your series
(probably next week or so).
Konstantin
