Re: Allocating a wstring on the stack (no GC)?

[Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert via Digitalmars-d]

This is named slicing. You can also slice a 
global/static/__gshared buffer.

alloca returns a void*, then you can cast it to the pointer 
type you want, and then you slice the pointer:

auto ptr = cast(wchar*)alloca(wchar.sizeof * len);
if (ptr == null) throw new Error("...");
auto mySlice = ptr[0 .. len];

Is the slice going to be allocated on the stack? (I imagine the 
answer is yes)

Thanks for your help Mr Bear.
