When a stack frame gets too big for its alloca()'d chunk, it just grabs another chunk and continues to use it. That would be nice, not only for the compiler, but for the code it produces... >Thad Floryan [ thad@btr.com (OR) {decwrl, mips, fernwood}!btr!thad ] -- | ben@epmooch.UUCP (Ben Mesander) | "Cash is more important than | | ben%servalan.UUCP@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu | your mother." - Al Shugart, | | !chinet!uokmax!servalan!epmooch!ben | CEO, Seagate Technologies |
