FYI, it wasn't necessarily the alloca() call, but just the header that defines it. In this case, FreeBSD *does* have alloca(), it is just in stdlib.h and there is no alloca.h header. So, without "#include " and still using the alloca() call, this code still worked on FreeBSD (because stdlib.h is included too).

Yes, this is correct but dealing with the differences in include files across systems makes this difficult already. It was the easiest to nuke it.

All that said, I don't really care too much which implementation is used and the alloca() man-page clearly states that its use is discouraged.

Right here it says, too. OK, so it was the right thing to do ;) Cheers, Egbert. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
