/* alloca.c -- allocate automatically reclaimed memory
(Mostly) portable public-domain implementation -- D A Gwyn
This implementation of the PWB library alloca function,
which is used to allocate space off the run-time stack so
that it is automatically reclaimed upon procedure exit,
was inspired by discussions with J. Q. Johnson of Cornell.
J.Otto Tennant <jot@cray.com> contributed the Cray support.
There are some preprocessor constants that can
be defined when compiling for your specific system, for
improved efficiency; however, the defaults should be okay.
The general concept of this implementation is to keep
track of all alloca-allocated blocks, and reclaim any
that are found to be deeper in the stack than the current
invocation. This heuristic does not reclaim storage as
soon as it becomes invalid, but it will do so eventually.
As a special case, alloca(0) reclaims storage without
allocating any. It is a good idea to use alloca(0) in
your main control loop, etc. to force garbage collection. */
/*
@deftypefn Replacement void* alloca (size_t @var{size})
This function allocates memory which will be automatically reclaimed
after the procedure exits. The @libib{} implementation does not free
the memory immediately but will do so eventually during subsequent
calls to this function. Memory is allocated using @code{xmalloc} under
normal circumstances.
The header file @file{alloca-conf.h} can be used in conjunction with the
GNU Autoconf test @code{AC_FUNC_ALLOCA} to test for and properly make
available this function. The @code{AC_FUNC_ALLOCA} test requires that
client code use a block of preprocessor code to be safe (see the Autoconf
manual for more); this header incorporates that logic and more, including
the possibility of a GCC built-in function.
