MSVCRT.DLL from MS does NOT export "_alloca":

D:\Aliberti\bin>dumpbin /exports D:\bin\system32\msvcrt.dll | grep alloc
                577  240   calloc  (00003524)
                658  291   malloc  (000012B1)
                680  2A7   realloc  (0000361C)

D:\Aliberti\bin>

Hm sounds like a pretty funny tool that dumpbin, do you have an url to 
download it or something like that?

Thanks in advance,

Michael.

Dumpbin comes with MSVC, and I think also with the platform SDK that you 
can download from microsoft.com.  I'm still looking for a GNU tool that 
does what MS's editbin utility does: bind imports and change the subsystem 
type of a PE image.

Actually, it's just a front-end to the Microsoft's incremental linker (it 
has a -dump undocumented option). It's officially included in Visual C++ 
and Visual Studio, and some FTP sites have some older versions for download 
too. Except the compiler and IDE, you can find pretty much all the 
Microsoft C/C++ building environment (nmake, masm, link, cvtres, etc) on 
public ftp servers, just use Google or Lycos FTP Search. Be sure to check 
out Dependency Walker too (http://www.dependencywalker.com/)

A similarly nifty tool is included in the free distribution of Borland C++ 
5.5, it's called Turbo Dump (tdump.exe) and dumps executables, resources, 
import libraries (in Borland's format, but there's a tool to convert them) 
and object files (OMF only, not COFF)
