No. They may be inlined, but this is just an optimization just like for
regular functions. If they are not inlined, these generators are simply
functions with a special calling convention that allows them to retain
their local data and execution point on the stack in between calls.
I did work out the assembly code for this some time ago and it worked
nicely. Very similar to what is needed for co-routines, but it is
possible to do everything on the stack.
How is that different from a local delegate that refers to local variables of
the function it is lexically nested in?
