Hi All,

At my job I got into a conversation with some coworkers and someone
mentioned the alloca function that allocates memory on the stack.  I
had never heard of it but looked it up:

http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Variable-Size-Automatic.html#Variable-Size-Automatic

Seems pretty neat that it doesn't fragment memory and gets cleaned up
automatically on function exit, which makes it look really nice for
temp variables and string handling, though I've never used it and
wonder if anyone here has experience with it. I did notice it
mentioning it being possibly not found on non-gnu systems, but I'm not
sure if anything people are compiling with now doesn't support it
(Anthony?  Perhaps codewarrior doesn't support it?)

Thanks!
steven
