2746 | 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. */ | |
