So, even if <alloca.h> is #included after regex.c:66, it wouldn't be a problem. Since I don't have access to a musl based system, I don't know what that system header is doing. However, I said *even if* above, because I don't see why it is trying to #include <alloca.h> in the first place! ;-) Note that the three calls to alloca in compat/regex: $ git grep -n '\<alloca\>' -- compat/regex compat/regex/regex.c:65:#undef alloca compat/regex/regex.c:66:#define alloca alloca_is_bad_you_should_never_use_it compat/regex/regex_internal.h:460:# include <alloca.h> compat/regex/regex_internal.h:468:/* alloca is implemented with malloc, so just use malloc. */ compat/regex/regexec.c:1428: prev_idx_match = (regmatch_t *) alloca (nmatch * sizeof (regmatch_t)); compat/regex/regexec.c:3338: dests_alloc = (struct dests_alloc *) alloca (sizeof (struct dests_alloc)); compat/regex/regexec.c:3385: alloca (ndests * 3 * sizeof (re_dfastate_t *)); $ ... in compat/regex/regexec.c are all protected by '#ifdef HAVE_ALLOCA', as indeed is the #include of the header file in compat/regex/regex_internal.h at line 460. Since HAVE_ALLOCA should not be defined, where is that file being included?
