 .Ft void *
 .Fn alloca "size_t size"
 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
 .Fn alloca
-macro
+function
 allocates
 .Fa size
 bytes of space in the stack frame of the caller.
 This temporary space is automatically freed on
 return.
 .Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
 .Fn alloca
-returns a pointer to the beginning of the allocated space.
+function returns a pointer to the beginning of the allocated space.
+If the allocation failed, a
+.Dv NULL
+pointer is returned.

-.Sh BUGS
-.Fn alloca
-is machine and compiler dependent;
-its use is discouraged.
-.Pp
-.Fn alloca
-is slightly unsafe because it cannot ensure that the pointer
-returned points to a valid and usable block of memory.
-The allocation made may exceed the bounds of the stack, or even go
-further into other objects in memory, and
-.Fn alloca
-cannot determine such an error.
-Avoid
-.Fn alloca
-with large unbounded allocations.
-.Pp
-The use of C99 variable-length arrays and
-.Fn alloca
-in the same function will cause the lifetime of alloca's storage to be limited to the block containing the
-.Fn alloca
