Good advice. If you're going to be a douche, know whom you're being a douche to. :-) As for platforms where alloca() can return NULL: http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/rad_studio/delphiAndcpp2009/HelpUpdate2/EN/html/devwin32/alloca_xml.html http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man3/alloca.3.asp http://www.ousob.com/ng/turboc/ng5738.php I also found a number of alloca() implementations which return NULL if asked to alloca(0), which could result if the parameter is an arithmetic expression (or if someone's trying to take your advice about how to get the stack pointer). But whatever. It's not like E/EFL code would ever run on any new or obscure platforms, appliances, or anything like that. And checking for NULL simply takes far too many cycles.
