The X server defines 2 macros, ALLOCATE_LOCAL(size) and
DECALLOCATE_LOCAL(ptr) for stack memory management. Normally,
#define ALLOCATE_LOCAL(size) alloca(size)
#define DEALLOCATE_LOCAL(ptr)
If alloca isn't supported or isn't efficient (mips cc, for example),
you can define
#define ALLOCATE_LOCAL(size) malloc(size)
#define DEALLOCATE_LOCAL(ptr) free(ptr)
There may also be compiler dependencies. hc calls alloca _Alloca.
gcc calls it __builtin_alloca.
