These three are all pretty small.  < 10 elements in the usual case.

For this one, we might as well ralloc a single temporary, store it in
live_variables_state, and re-use it.  We're not really saving anything
by "reallocating" it each time; especially since we memcpy anyway.

num_blocks shouldn't be large, so you can probably go ahead and put this
on the stack.  On the other hand, insert_phi_nodes is called once per
run of the optimization loop and we malloc enough other stuff that we
won't notice (from a performance perspective) if you just malloc it.


                  unsigned w_start, w_end;
                  unsigned iter_count = 0;


        Looks OK to me.

        One thing I might have done would be instead of:

        unsigned *work = alloca(state->impl->num_blocks * sizeof *work);
        ...
        memset(work, 0, state->impl->num_blocks * sizeof *work);

        do

        const int work_size = state->impl->num_blocks * sizeof *work;
        unsigned *work = alloca(work_size);

     > ...
     > memset(work, 0, work_size);

    It's not a bad idea.  The snafu is that `work` must be declared
    before word_size so that `sizeof *work` is valid.

    That or we must use the actual type of `*work`, but that is more
    dangerous as it's very easy to get it wrong, particularly when
    dealing with pointers of pointers.

    So this would need to look like

       unsigned *work;
       const size_t work_size = state->impl->num_blocks * sizeof *work;
       work = alloca(work_size);
       ...
       memset(work, 0, work_size);


    I'll post this in a follow-up review.

        ...
        memset(work, 0, work_size);


        AFAIK, there's no zeroing version of alloca().


    Yes, I also searched.  And unfortunately inline functions can't be
    used due to alloca semantics.  I'm not sure if there's any
    C-preprocessor magic.


    Anyway, depending on the maximum size of these alloca arrays, we
    might actually need to use malloc, as Windows stack is 1MB by
    default, plus the OpenGL driver only gets to use whatever stack is
    left from the application.


I doubt you'll have too much trouble there.  Most of those should be <
1K even for really big shaders and none of these functions ever call any
of the others.  I've made a few comments above about potential specific
non-alloca solutions that might be better for some of them.

Thanks.

On a slightly different note, could you be more specific about what MSVC
can't do here?  I know it's had some issues with variable-length arrays
in the past (I've seen some of those issues personally), but could you
be more specific about what they are?

MSVC doesn't support VLA at all. That is, just like C90, the size of arrays must be a constant, or a constant expression.

There's a brief mention of this in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/zb1574zs.aspx

  "Variable length arrays are not currently supported in Visual C++."

but it's in a section about OpenMP.

The fact is that any attempt to use VLA results in error C2057: expected constant expression:
