e2ir.c constains an optimization to turn alloca into a fixed sized array allocation on the stack when alloca is called with a compile-time constant. This is invalid as alloca may be called inside a loop.
I think the correct place to perform this optimization is in the backend, where analysis can determine alloca is called at most once per function call and turn it into a local variable allocation.
