3 /* alloca.c -- allocate automatically reclaimed memory
4 (Mostly) portable public-domain implementation -- D A Gwyn
6 This implementation of the PWB library alloca function,
7 which is used to allocate space off the run-time stack so
8 that it is automatically reclaimed upon procedure exit,
9 was inspired by discussions with J. Q. Johnson of Cornell.
10 J.Otto Tennant <jot@cray.com> contributed the Cray support.
12 There are some preprocessor constants that can
13 be defined when compiling for your specific system, for
14 improved efficiency; however, the defaults should be okay.
16 The general concept of this implementation is to keep
17 track of all alloca-allocated blocks, and reclaim any
18 that are found to be deeper in the stack than the current
19 invocation. This heuristic does not reclaim storage as
20 soon as it becomes invalid, but it will do so eventually.
22 As a special case, alloca(0) reclaims storage without
23 allocating any. It is a good idea to use alloca(0) in
24 your main control loop, etc. to force garbage collection. */
