OK, thanks for the heads-up. I expect that gnulib should be able to import some fixes from 'make' as well, e.g., for the glob/fnmatch area. > PS.

I found it here: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/gnulib/gnulib/MODULES.html?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/html#module=alloca-opt If you read between the lines of that implementation, you'll find another concern: many implementations have unreliable 'alloca' implementations, that can result in unchecked buffer overruns when you allocate buffers that are "too large". This is partly why I was concerned about those warnings. The gnulib allocsa module attempts to address this problem; I'm not entirely happy with it (and don't use it myself, preferring to do the checking on my own) but I don't have anything better to offer. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
