For a specific project, I need to convert an int to a const int variable type.

int i = 10;
boolean ShiftRegister[i] //Throws error

const int i = 10;
boolean ShiftRegister[i]// Works Fine

as i am making my own custom library where the size of boolean can be defined by creating an object by the user

myLib Library(20); // user defined boolean size

and the size is stored to a struct like this as it can't directly be converted to a const int.

The header file ...

#ifndef myLib_h
#define myLib.h
#include "Arduino.h"

class myLib{

public:
myLib(int input);
private:
int input;

};
#endif

the C++ code

#include "myLib.h"
#include "Arduino.h"

 struct Data {
  int BoolSize;
 }Data[0];

 myLib::myLib(int input){
 Data[0].BoolSize=input
 }
 
 const int boolSize = Data[0].BoolSize;

 bool DataBoolean[boolSize];

Whenever i run this library, it throws an error untill i dont predefine the boolean size in cpp code like this..

bool DataBoolean[20];

that means there is something error converting the int to const int in this line

const int boolSize = Data[0].BoolSize;

so what i want is, i dont want to predefine the boolean size in the cpp code. i would rather like to define boolean size by creating an object(where the code crashed), storing the size to a structure then assigning the structure integer to the const int variable. I need an efficiant way to

turn this struct variable

Data[0].BoolSize;

into a const variable and assign to it like this without any errors

const int boolSize = Data[0].BoolSize;

so how can i convert an integer to a const int so that i can continue to my project?

any helps please? thanks for your kind support.
