Indeed I was expecting arm_usestack() to do the colorization, but apparently it doesn't.
I cannot have my application code to colorize the stack, as a call to arm_stack_color() is needed. This is not exposed to the application as far as i can tell. > Also Assuming ARM it has to be 8 byte aligned. So you need attributes on > your variable called stack to set the alignment. Indeed I have actually aligned the stack, but didn't include it in the example code.
