You may want to see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_stack and http://www.nondot.org/sabre/LLVMNotes/ExplicitlyManagedStackFrames.txt . "Stackless" means that you do not use the "system" stack, but that rather, your language frontend manages the stack frames itself. Hope this is any help, Jonathan

Hi all, At the bottom of chapter 8 of the tutorial, on the topic of closures, mentions that there are "often better ways to implement these features than explicit stack frames". Does anyone know what techniques this cryptic statement might be referring to? Thanks! -- William <wmorgan-llvm at masanjin.net>
