libgcc2.a : frame.c uses mallo and free

[Fabrice Gautier]

Hi,

What does the code in frame.c do?
I gets included in libgcc2.a but call malloc.

Is this code always get compiled? If not in which cases it is?

Should not malloc be replaced by automatic arrays or alloca (something
implemented by the compiler itself rateher than by a libc)

And shouldn't inhibit_libc conditionalize such code?

Thanks
