- ;; Alloca() for Aztec C v 3.6c.
- ;; alloca(n) allocates n bytes of storage in the stack
- ;; frame of the caller.
- ;;
- ;; Allows caller to save up to 12 registers on the stack
- ;; at caller's procedure entry, and pop them off on exit.
- ;;
- ;; Calling routine must be set up to align stack pointer between
- ;; calls to functions, or this will fail.
