Allocate <em>__size</em> bytes of space in the stack frame of the caller.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|

|
|
This temporary space is automatically freed when the function that called <a class="el" href="group__alloca.html#gbdd78c9d072e9d390bed0e8b79087a85" title="Allocate __size bytes of space in the stack frame of the caller.">alloca()</a> returns to its caller. Avr-libc defines the <a class="el" href="group__alloca.html#gbdd78c9d072e9d390bed0e8b79087a85" title="Allocate __size bytes of space in the stack frame of the caller.">alloca()</a> as a macro, which is translated into the inlined <code>__builtin_alloca()</code> function. The fact that the code is inlined, means that it is impossible to take the address of this function, or to change its behaviour by linking with a different library.<p>
