Then it's very good for Phobos docs to say that alloca is relative to a scope and not to a function. The description of alloca() that I have seen says: The alloca() function allocates space in the stack frame of the caller, and returns a pointer to the allocated block. This temporary space is automatically freed when the function from which alloca() is called returns. While if you are right D alloca frees space when the scope of alloca ends and not when the function ends. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
