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