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

27
28This function allocates memory which will be automatically reclaimed
29after the procedure exits. The @libib{} implementation does not free
30the memory immediately but will do so eventually during subsequent
31calls to this function. Memory is allocated using @code{xmalloc} under
32normal circumstances.
33
34The header file @file{alloca-conf.h} can be used in conjunction with the
35GNU Autoconf test @code{AC_FUNC_ALLOCA} to test for and properly make
36available this function. The @code{AC_FUNC_ALLOCA} test requires that
37client code use a block of preprocessor code to be safe (see the Autoconf
38manual for more); this header incorporates that logic and more, including
7f8fa05d 39the possibility of a GCC built-in function.
