/* Avoid using the symbol _ALLOCA_H here, as Bison assumes _ALLOCA_H
21
means there is a real alloca function. */
25
/* alloca (N) returns a pointer to N bytes of memory
26
allocated on the stack, which will last until the function returns.
27
Use of alloca should be avoided:
28
- inside arguments of function calls - undefined behaviour,
29
- in inline functions - the allocation may actually last until the
30
calling function returns,
31
- for huge N (say, N >= 65536) - you never know how large (or small)
32
the stack is, and when the stack cannot fulfill the memory allocation
33
request, the program just crashes.
