Well, this depends on how memory has already been allocated on the stack.
That said, a small test program successfully stack-allocated memory for `750_000` characters, so you might be fine.

## Alternative

It is possible to use an alternative span-based implementation that is more readable, but has the downside of being about twice as slow:

```csharp
Span<char> chars = stackalloc char[input.Length];
input.AsSpan().CopyTo(chars);
chars.Reverse();
return new string(chars);
```

## Performance
