Just saw this:

_alloca

Article

Allocates memory on the stack. This function is deprecated because a more secure version is available; see:

 _malloca.

Mucroshaft are such irritating *FUCKS*.  It has exactly the same signature as alloca.  Why didn't they just upgrade the implementation instead of forcing everyone to rewrite their code??

Requirements

RoutineRequired header
_malloca<malloc.h>

Hi all!

Has anybody tried to build OSVM in Windows 11 via Cygwin64?

clang-8 does not work because "_alloca" cannot be found ... hmm...


So, who implements _alloca? It's not msvcrt.dll ... how to find that out?

Best,
Marcel
