Comment (by pulkomandy):
Instead of using VLA arrays, you can use BStackOrHeapArray. The problem
with VLAs is that you can get a stack overflow if the data is big enough,
as they are allocated on the stack. BStackOrHeapArray will only allocate
small enough data on the stack (you set the threshold as a template
parameter), and will allocate extra memory if needed. It takes care of
freeing it when it goes out of scope.
Alternatively, a BAutoDeleter could be used (but in that case the data
will never be on the stack).
