Thank you, I really appreciate the help.

What I meant is that you can reduce the stack part (assuming you're not
already using VAR_ARRAYS or USE_ALLOCA). The other variables above still
require the same size they are currently using. For the stack, the
easiest way to measure (it's platform-dependent to some extent), the
easiest is to fill the memory with 0xdeadbeef and see how far gets
written. The amount of stack used is exactly the same every time you
encode or decode.
