allocates things on the stack, which is much more limited and can have
horrible consequences if an overflow happens. Furthermore, the size is
fixed, meaning that you can't, in this extreme case, use the path
"hello" because it uses 6 characters ("hello" + \0 termination).<br>

yeah, but's it allocated on the stack which normally much faster than a
call to malloc/free.<br>
