[Python-Dev] [win32] Killing MSVC's _alloca

[Gerhard Haering]

Trying to get around to my mingw32 port again. I currently don't have Visual
C++ installed, but why is this nonstandard _alloca needed? Can't it simply be
replaced by alloca? Doesn't MSVC have alloca?

For the moment, I'm as far as building posixmodule.c, which I succeeded by
doing a

#define _alloca alloca

If there's a way to kill MSVC peculiarities, could this please be done?
