How to find if a variable is allocated in stack or heap?

by

No, not in general.

Do you know of gcc -fsplit-stack ?

It is up to the implementation to decide whether to allocate a contiguous stack or a stack where blocks are interleaved with heap blocks in memory. Good luck figuring out whether a block was allocated for the heap or the stack when the latter is split.
