AFAIU this is a feature of the language and compiler, not of QT, so
probably your limitation is not because you use QT per se, but instead
because C++ does not have VLAs.
Trying to force VLAs via asm in C++ would probably open a can of worms
not worth the benefit.
A more viable alternative could be having the code that needs VLAs
implemented in C modules linked to C++, or switch to std::vector.
If it is directly coupled to QT itself, e.g. GUI handlers, then the
performance gap of using std::vector is most probably neglectable.
(and, of course, there still is _alloca() if it is supported by the
compiler)
