Hi *GCC*: Given the example for *alloca*() at:
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_mono/libc.html#Alloca-Example May I recommend that the code below portrays the use of alloca() more completely in that it demonstrates that it is exiting the containing function, not the {} of the first for loop that frees the storage allocated by alloca()? #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) {const int N = 26; char *(p[N]); for(int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {*(p[i] = alloca(1)) = 'a'+i;} for(int i = 0; i < N; ++i) putchar(*(p[i])); return 0; } // abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz -- Thanks, Phil <https://metacpan.org/author/PRBRENAN> Philip R Brenan <https://metacpan.org/author/PRBRENAN>
