In porting Microwindows to VxWorks, I see a couple uses
of the alloca() function in <microwin/src/mwin/winlib/edit.c>
and <microwin/src/engine/devfont.c>. As alloca() is not
an ANSI function, it is not necessarily implemented on all
platforms. I have not been able to get this code to compile
in Tornado/VxWorks, so I have replaced the alloca()'s with
malloc()/free() pairs.
Does anyone see any problems with this replacement?
Is this replacement something that could be rolled into the
general release in order to make Microwindows more portable
to new platforms?
