The C standard says that for an array to not be a variable length type, it's size must be a constant integer expression. A const variable does not satisfy the definition of a constant integer expression, but compliers may accept them as an extension. We used to get away with this, but the compiler shipped with MacOS Tahoe is more strict and prints a warning. Fix by changing the const variable to a macro. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72716896/ for more details.
