  26 /* alloca (N) returns a pointer to N bytes of memory
  27    allocated on the stack, which will last until the function returns.
  28    Use of alloca should be avoided:
  29      - inside arguments of function calls - undefined behaviour,
  30      - in inline functions - the allocation may actually last until the
  31        calling function returns,
  32      - for huge N (say, N >= 65536) - you never know how large (or small)
  33        the stack is, and when the stack cannot fulfill the memory allocation
  34        request, the program just crashes.
