Q. Johnson of Cornell. + + It should work under any C implementation that uses an + actual procedure stack (as opposed to a linked list of + frames). There are some preprocessor constants that can + be defined when compiling for your specific system, for + improved efficiency; however, the defaults should be okay. + + The general concept of this implementation is to keep + track of all alloca()-allocated blocks, and reclaim any + that are found to be deeper in the stack than the current + invocation. This heuristic does not reclaim storage as + soon as it becomes invalid, but it will do so eventually. + + As a special case, alloca(0) reclaims storage without + allocating any. It is a good idea to use alloca(0) in + your main control loop, etc. to force garbage collection. +*/ +#ifndef lint +static char SCCSid[] = "@(#)alloca.c 1.1"; /* for the "what" utility */ +#endif + +#ifdef emacs +#include "config.h" +#ifdef static +/* actually, only want this if static is defined as "" + -- this is for usg, in which emacs must undefine static + in order to make unexec workable + */ +#ifndef STACK_DIRECTION +you +lose +-- must know STACK_DIRECTION at compile-time +#endif /* STACK_DIRECTION undefined */ +#endif /* static */ +#endif /* emacs */ + +#ifndef alloca /* If compiling with GCC, this file's not needed. */ + +#ifdef __STDC__ +typedef void *pointer; /* generic pointer type */ +#else +typedef char *pointer; /* generic pointer type */ +#endif + +#define NULL 0 /* null pointer constant */ + +extern void free(); +extern pointer xmalloc(); + +/* + Define STACK_DIRECTION if you know the direction of stack + growth for your system; otherwise it will be automatically + deduced at run-time. + + STACK_DIRECTION > 0 => grows toward higher addresses + STACK_DIRECTION < 0 => grows toward lower addresses + STACK_DIRECTION = 0 => direction of growth unknown +*/ + +#ifndef STACK_DIRECTION +#define STACK_DIRECTION 0 /* direction unknown */ +#endif + +#if STACK_DIRECTION != 0 + +#define STACK_DIR STACK_DIRECTION /* known at compile-time */ + +#else /* STACK_DIRECTION == 0; need run-time code */ + +static int stack_dir; /* 1 or -1 once known */ +#define STACK_DIR stack_dir + +static void +find_stack_direction (/* void */) +{ + static char *addr = NULL; /* address of first + `dummy', once known */ + auto char dummy; /* to get stack address */ + + if (addr == NULL) + { /* initial entry */ + addr = &dummy; + + find_stack_direction (); /* recurse once */ + } + else /* second entry */ + if (&dummy > addr) + stack_dir = 1; /* stack grew upward */ + else + stack_dir = -1; /* stack grew downward */ +} + +#endif /* STACK_DIRECTION == 0 */ + +/* + An "alloca header" is used to: + (a) chain together all alloca()ed blocks; + (b) keep track of stack depth. + + It is very important that sizeof(header) agree with malloc() + alignment chunk size.
