Hi
QJ Wang recommended that I post this question here:
I'm building a project using the TI ARM compiler (TI v20.2.7.LTS) configured for C11.
Because I'm not allowed to use dynamic memory allocation for safety certification, I'm using C99 feature VLA.
The problem: I have noticed that instead of allocating its memory on the stack (like GCC, Clang, etc) TI VLAs are allocated on the heap.
I have looked in the ARM Optimizing C/C++ Compiler v20.2.0.LTS User's Guide without success.
I'm I correct that VLA actually does not use the stack?
Are VLAs guaranteed to free the memory properly?
Are VLAs RTOS safe?
Can I configure the compiler so it allocates VLA on the stack?
Regards,
Gabriel
