It's not necessarily tiny but it's optional (besides main() ). Linux kernel, baremetal embedded does not use this.

Linux kernel surely used it during the time they had VLAs in, they are now mostly removed thanks to Google efforts reducing memory exploits on the Linux kernel.

One just links another implementation, just like printf() vs printk().
