stack memory allocation: a compiler that can't do it

[andrew at orca.UUCP]

The Aztec C compiler for 8080/8085/Z80 makes the stack pointer do
double duty as a frame pointer.  [It understands how to change frame
offsets when stacking parameters to procedure calls.]  The "alloca"
scheme would fail with code from this compiler.
