What is alloca() and why is its use discouraged?

Answer Posted / guest

alloca() allocates memory which is automatically freed when
the function which called alloca() returns. alloca() cannot
be written portably, is difficult to implement on machines
without a stack, and fails under certain conditions if
implemented simply.
