/* Avoid using the symbol _ALLOCA_H here, as Bison assumes _ALLOCA_H
22
means there is a real alloca function. */
26
/* 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.
