-------------------------------------
Thanks.
I could reproduce this case with your program.
> garrow_array_builder_append_values() won't work for large arrays
> ----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-2457
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2457
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C, C++, GLib
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0, 0.9.0
> Reporter: Haralampos Gavriilidis
> Assignee: Kouhei Sutou
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available

> I am using garrow_array_builder_append_values() to transform a native C array
> to an Arrow array, without calling arrow_array_builder_append multiple times.
> When calling garrow_array_builder_append_values() in array-builder.cpp with
> following signature:
> {code:java}
> garrow_array_builder_append_values(GArrowArrayBuilder *builder,
> const VALUE *values,
> gint64 values_length,
> const gboolean *is_valids,
> gint64 is_valids_length,
> GError **error,
> const gchar *context)
> {code}
> it will fail for large arrays. This is probably happening because the
> is_valids array is copied to the valid_bytes array (of different type), for
> which the memory is allocated on the stack, and not on the heap, like shown
> on the snippet below:
> {code:java}
> uint8_t valid_bytes[is_valids_length];
> for (gint64 i = 0; i < is_valids_length; ++i){
> valid_bytes[i] = is_valids[i];
> }
> {code}
> A way to avoid this problem would be to allocate memory for the valid_bytes
> array using malloc() or something similar. Is this behavior intended, maybe
> because no large arrays should be handed over to that function, or it is
> rather a bug?
