1 /* alloca.c -- allocate automatically reclaimed memory 2 (Mostly) portable public-domain implementation -- D A Gwyn 3 4 This implementation of the PWB library alloca function, 5 which is used to allocate space off the run-time stack so 6 that it is automatically reclaimed upon procedure exit, 7 was inspired by discussions with J. Q. Johnson of Cornell. 8 J.Otto Tennant <jot (at) cray.com> contributed the Cray support. 9 10 There are some preprocessor constants that can 11 be defined when compiling for your specific system, for 12 improved efficiency; however, the defaults should be okay. 13 14 The general concept of this implementation is to keep 15 track of all alloca-allocated blocks, and reclaim any 16 that are found to be deeper in the stack than the current 17 invocation. This heuristic does not reclaim storage as 18 soon as it becomes invalid, but it will do so eventually. 19 20 As a special case, alloca(0) reclaims storage without 21 allocating any. It is a good idea to use alloca(0) in 22 your main control loop, etc. to force garbage collection. */ 23 24 #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H 25 #if defined (emacs) || defined (CONFIG_BROKETS) 26 #include <config.h> 27 #else 28 #include "config.h" 29 #endif 30 #endif 31 32 /* If compiling with GCC 2, this file's not needed. */ 33 #if !defined (__GNUC__) || __GNUC__ < 2 34 35 /* If someone has defined alloca as a macro, 36 there must be some other way alloca is supposed to work. */ 37 #ifndef alloca 38 39 #ifdef emacs 40 #ifdef static 41 /* actually, only want this if static is defined as "" 42 -- this is for usg, in which emacs must undefine static 43 in order to make unexec workable 44 */ 45 #ifndef STACK_DIRECTION 46 you 47 lose 48 -- must know STACK_DIRECTION at compile-time 49 #endif /* STACK_DIRECTION undefined */ 50 #endif /* static */ 51 #endif /* emacs */ 52 53 /* If your stack is a linked list of frames, you have to 54 provide an "address metric" ADDRESS_FUNCTION macro. */ 55 56 #if defined (CRAY) && defined (CRAY_STACKSEG_END) 57 long i00afunc (); 58 #define ADDRESS_FUNCTION(arg) (char *) i00afunc (&(arg)) 59 #else 60 #define ADDRESS_FUNCTION(arg) &(arg) 61 #endif 62 63 #if __STDC__ 64 typedef void *pointer; 65 #else 66 typedef char *pointer; 67 #endif 68 69 #define NULL 0 70 71 /* Different portions of Emacs need to call different versions of 72 malloc.
