+ * win/configure:
+ * win/configure.in: Define HAVE_ALLOCA_GCC_INLINE
+ when we detect that no alloca function is found
+ in malloc.h and we are compiling with GCC.
+ Remove HAVE_NO_ALLOC_DECL define.
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace):
+ Don't define alloca as a cdecl function.
+ Doing this caused a tricky runtime bug because
+ the _alloca function expects the size argument
+ to be passed in a register and not on the stack.
+ To fix this problem, we use inline ASM when
+ compiling with gcc to invoke _alloca with the
+ size argument loaded into a register.
+
2003-01-24 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
* win/tclWinDde.c (Dde_Init): clarified use of tsdPtr.
