[Sema] add -Walloca to flag uses of alloca
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This CL adds an optional warning to diagnose uses of the
`__builtin_alloca` family of functions. The use of these functions is
discouraged by many, so it seems like a good idea to allow clang to warn
about it.

Patch by Elaina Guan!
