/**
* g_alloca:
* @size: number of bytes to allocate.
*
* Allocates @size bytes on the stack; these bytes will be freed when the current
* stack frame is cleaned up. This macro essentially just wraps the alloca()
* function present on most UNIX variants.
* Thus it provides the same advantages and pitfalls as alloca():
*
* - alloca() is very fast, as on most systems it's implemented by just adjusting
* the stack pointer register.
*
* - It doesn't cause any memory fragmentation, within its scope, separate alloca()
* blocks just build up and are released together at function end.
*
* - Allocation sizes have to fit into the current stack frame. For instance in a
* threaded environment on Linux, the per-thread stack size is limited to 2 Megabytes,
* so be sparse with alloca() uses.
*
* - Allocation failure due to insufficient stack space is not indicated with a %NULL
* return like e.g. with malloc(). Instead, most systems probably handle it the same
* way as out of stack space situations from infinite function recursion, i.e.
* with a segmentation fault.
*
* - Special care has to be taken when mixing alloca() with GNU C variable sized arrays.
* Stack space allocated with alloca() in the same scope as a variable sized array
* will be freed together with the variable sized array upon exit of that scope, and
* not upon exit of the enclosing function scope.
*
* Returns: space for @size bytes, allocated on the stack
