Yep.
Your aim is to conserve stack space?
The worst case has to work without overflow anyways, so using VLAs don't
help you. Just allocate the largest size you can safely afford.
This is also easier to test; if it is too large it is better when
the overflow triggers always.
They are more useful in user space with larger stacks when you don't
know the maximum size.
