Subject: [RFC/AIX] xm-aix4.h - Remove alloca #pragma
Date: Sun, 08 Aug 2004 04:54:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040808045407.GF24160@gnat.com> (raw)

config/xm-aix4.h contains the following definition:

| /* The IBM compiler requires this in order to properly compile alloca().  */
| #pragma alloca

I just checked with an IBM C compiler, and indeed, we need this pragma
or the link will fail.  Yuck! Can we solve this problem this way?

   . Add a check in configure to link a program using alloca.
   . If pass, we're done.
   . Try again with #pragma alloca
   . If pass, then define #USE_PRAGMA_ALLOCA, or HAVE_PRAGMA_ALLOCA
     or something like this
   . Some other ways to get alloca???
   . If fail, then abort configure, we need alloca.

Then add something like this in defs:

#ifdef USE_PRAGMA_ALLOCA
#pragma alloca
#endif
