------- Additional Comments From aoliva at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-02-14 16:29 ------- Yes, it is natural, once you look into the mechanisms used to implement the features. However, if you focus on the definitions:
- memory allocated for dynamic-sized arrays is released at the time the array goes out of scope - memory allocated with alloca() is released at the time the function that calls alloca() returns then there's no reason to expect dynamic-sized arrays and alloca() to interfere with each other. I agree that implementing them in such a way that they don't interfere is probably impossible with a single stack, but that still doesn't make it right. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14236
