|

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.
