This still fails with clang-19:

../../src/gstreamer/gstlibcamerasrc.cpp:437:36: error: variable length arrays in C++ are a Clang extension [-Werror,-Wvla-cxx-extension]
  437 |         GstVideoTransferFunction transfer[srcpads_num];
      |                                           ^~~~~~~~~~~
../../src/gstreamer/gstlibcamerasrc.cpp:437:36: note: read of non-const variable 'srcpads_num' is not allowed in a constant expression
../../src/gstreamer/gstlibcamerasrc.cpp:436:8: note: declared here
  436 |         gsize srcpads_num = state->srcpads_.size();
      |               ^

	std::vector<GstVideoTransferFunction> transfer(state->srcpads_.size(),
						       GST_VIDEO_TRANSFER_UNKNOWN);

should do. This will initialize all the elements of the vector, so ...

... you can drop this.
