void * | alloca (size_t __size) |
void* alloca | ( | size_t | __size | ) |
Allocate __size bytes of space in the stack frame of the caller.
This temporary space is automatically freed when the function that called alloca() returns to its caller. Avr-libc defines the alloca() as a macro, which is translated into the inlined __builtin_alloca()
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.
