NAME

       alloca

SYNOPSIS

   Functions
       void * alloca (size_t __size)

Detailed Description

Function Documentation

   void* alloca (size_t __size)
       Allocate __size bytes of space in the stack frame of the caller. This temporary space is
       automatically freed when the function that called alloca() returns to its caller. Avr-libc
       defines the alloca() as a macro, which is translated into the inlined __builtin_alloca()
       function. The fact that the code is inlined, means that it is impossible to take the
       address of this function, or to change its behaviour by linking with a different library.

       Returns:
           alloca() returns a pointer to the beginning of the allocated space. If the allocation
           causes stack overflow, program behaviour is undefined.

       Warning:
           Avoid use alloca() inside the list of arguments of a function call.
