Is there a Delphi memory management function that allocates memory on the stack?

Question

C world has alloca() or _alloca() that allocates memory on the stack instead of the heap.

Does Delphi has such a function?

Answer 1

If you really want to replicate the alloca functionality in Delphi I suggest you look at the StackAlloc function in the Grids unit in the VCL. This is a procedure declared in the implementation section of the unit, so you'd have to copy the VCL source to make use of it.
