Header alloca.h in Windows

Question

I can't see any alloca.h equivalent in Visual C 2010. How can one perform stack allocation in Visual C on Windows? I miss the function alloca.

See _alloca. Visual C uses an _ prefix for non-standard functions in the C headers.

It would be worth noting that `_alloca` is in header ``. – Serge Rogatch Jul 22 '16 at 12:32

There's no alloca.h in windows. You should

#include <malloc.h>

instead. The alloca function is there
