F.2.3 __alloca__ Alignment

  • __alloca__ rounds requested sizes up to 8 bytes
  • dynamic __alloca__ lowers to the host compiler's alloca facility (or builtin equivalent)
  • if the selected C compiler does not expose an alloca facility, compilation fails by default

__static_alloca__ remains shared writable static storage and does not depend on alloca.
