/* alloca (N) returns a pointer to N bytes of memory
|
|
27 |
allocated on the stack, which will last until the function returns.
|
|
28 |
Use of alloca should be avoided:
|
|
29 |
- inside arguments of function calls - undefined behaviour,
|
|
30 |
- in inline functions - the allocation may actually last until the
|
|
31 |
calling function returns,
|
|
32 |
- for huge N (say, N >= 65536) - you never know how large (or small)
|
|
33 |
the stack is, and when the stack cannot fulfill the memory allocation
|
|
34 |
request, the program just crashes.
