/**
 * @file make_array.c
 * @brief Implements the OP_MAKE_ARRAY opcode for creating arrays in the VM.
 *
 * This file handles the OP_MAKE_ARRAY instruction, which pops `n` values from the stack,
 * creates an array from them, and pushes the resulting array back onto the stack.
 *
 * Behavior:
 * - Validates the number of elements (`n`) to ensure it is non-negative and within stack bounds.
 * - Allocates temporary storage for the array elements.
 * - Constructs the array using `make_array_from_values`.
 * - Frees temporary storage and pushes the array onto the stack.
 *
 * Error Handling:
 * - Exits with an error if `n` is invalid or if memory allocation fails.
 *
 * Example:
 * - Bytecode: OP_MAKE_ARRAY 3
 * - Stack before: [1, 2, 3]
 * - Stack after: [[1, 2, 3]]
