Heh.

This is probably an obsolete view, but who knows?  Anyway, the canonical
solution to "not heap allocation" is to define a reasonable maximum count
of simultaneous objects, statically allocate them, and then basically
write your own mini-allocator that keeps track of which ones you're using.

This, you will note, is probably stupid.

Note that either way, it is very important that you handle lack of
resources gracefully.
