> MSVC compiles regex.c, so it must handle it. I'm fine with that. msvc supports alloca, but regex.c doesn't make use of it per default (you must define HAVE_ALLOCA_H in order to use it). basically _alloca is fine for that task, but be aware that error handling on windows is a bit compilicated. when _alloca fails it throws a structured exception, you must reset the stack and use traditional memory allocation as fallback. see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wb1s57t5.aspx. :-) janos -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
