For portability reasons, or some other reason as well? There are also some uses of variable-size arrays, which boils down to the same thing. These are harder to just grep out but I can easily list them trying to do OMP with Apple's gcc :)
How do we get rid of them? Using stack arrays of maximum size that will ever be needed?
