Hello,

I am thinking about using the "alloca" function in some code I'm working on for 
ITK, and wonder what other people think of it or others experience...

>From the BSD Library Functions Manual:

DESCRIPTION
     The alloca() macro allocates size bytes of space in the stack frame of the 
caller.  This temporary space is automatically freed on return.

I am planning on using it for some dimension sized array in compiled 
templateless code, in lieu of C99 dynamic stack based arrays.

Best as I can tell Windows defines it as _alloca, so a little CMake try compile 
is going to be needed, not a big deal.

Thanks,
Brad
