Is alloca() used and tested on each of those platforms? > On the other hand, I would like to know what bugs have been found in > alloca and on which platform. It's a bit strange that there aren't > any references about them. Unfortunately, I have no info about that. The sentence about bugs was added in the days before man-pages had change logs (i.e., before I became maintainer).
