Thanks for you answer, I redesigned my code and it's look ok now.
However, I tried to insert a breakpoint at ``if (NumBytes >= 4096 &&
STI.isTargetCOFF() && !STI.isTargetEnvMacho())'' but the condition is
never met.

So I'm still wondering where, in LLVM, the call to __chkstk is
emitted. If anybody has an idea, please let me know. :)
