egg-simple-label: replace alloca with C99 VLA (1.33 KB, patch)
2016-04-22 20:21 UTC, Ting-Wei Lan 		committed Details | Review

Description Ting-Wei Lan 2016-04-22 20:20:28 UTC 
The recently added egg-simple-label.c uses alloca.h. It may be possible to fix it by replacing it with stdlib.h, but I think using the standard VLA feature is better.

egg-simple-label: replace alloca with C99 VLA

alloca is a non-standard feature. As we already requires a compiler
supporting C11, using the standard variable-length array seems to be
better. Although VLA is an optional feature in C11, both gcc and clang
support it for a long time.

This commit fixes the build on FreeBSD, which puts alloca in stdlib.h
instead of alloca.h.
