Thanks, this looks good, with one quibble:
+Compared to @code{malloc}, variable length arrays share the same +advantages and disadvantages as @code{alloca}. In particular, there is +no error checking (and security vulnerabilities can result from large +allocation requests), and some @nongnusystems{} do not support variable +length arrays because they only support earlier versions of ISO C which +do not include variable length arrays.
The last 2 lines are obsolete. Although C99 required VLAs, a standard C11 implementation that defines __STDC_NO_VLA__ need not support VLAs. I suggest removing " because they only support earlier versions of ISO C which do not include variable length arrays".
