my reading of the definition of XALLOCAVEC
include/libiberty.h:#define XALLOCAVEC(T, N) ((T *) alloca (sizeof (T) *
(N)))
and alloca(3):
ALLOCA(3) Linux Programmer's Manual
ALLOCA(3)
NAME
alloca - allocate memory that is automatically freed
told me to ignore questions like your's. OK, I didn't.
Well, the pointer (char *name) is local and does not escape,
so I presumed that this is the way to go.
Anybody who knows better please correct me. The above should be
mapped to a gcc builtin anyway.
Thanks,
Harald
