Provides a variable-length array (VLA), also called variable-sized or runtime-sized. It is an array data structure whose length is determined at run time (instead of at compile time). The main purpose ...

Abstract: In this paper, a multiple-symbol parallel variable length decoding (VLD) scheme is introduced. The scheme is capable of decoding all the codewords in an N-bit block of encoded input data ...

This is an excellent question. Zero-length arrays, also known as flexible arrays, are used to implement variable-length arrays, primarily in structures. That's a little confusing, so let's look at an ...
