alloca() can't be pure because you can use alloca() inside a loop too (see bug
3822 ), and an expected optimization of pure functions is to pull them out of
loops (because they always return the same result or throw an exception/error,
see bug 4453 ). I prefer alloca() to free its memory only at the end of the
function (and not at the end of the scope of the for loop).
