What are you doing that generates the warnings? It sounds as though you are compiling a C program. Does /usr/include/alloca.h exist? Does if contain a line with __alloca in it?

thank you for the reply,

yes the header file exists at /usr/inlude/alloca.h

#ifndef _H_ALLOCA
#define _H_ALLOCA
#include <sys/types.h>
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

#ifdef __GNUC__
/* Remove any previous definitions. */
#undef alloca

#define alloca(size) __builtin_alloca (size)

#else /* xlc */

35:[b]#pragma alloca[/b] //it is showing at this line

#endif /* GCC. */

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

#endif /* _H_ALLOCA */

it is showing at line number 35 , please tell me what is the significance of this warning.

it is not really that hard to guess: try a compiler that knows the #pragma alloca
