stack memory

[Ivan Novick]

Hi,

With the sun compiler, the declared buffer is pushed onto the stack upon
entry into function foo and not only when it goes into scope.

Do you know if gcc will use the stack for the buffer if it never goes into 
scope?

function foo()
{
if ( debug > 0 )
        {
        char debug_buffer[4096];
        }
}

Thanks,
Ivan
