I'm not into the details of ELF and object file stacks, but Gentoo Linux gives
me some QA warnings about executable writable sections. A Gentoo hacker helped
me by writing a patch to dmd and the security warnings are now gone.
See http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6387 for details.
I posted here to shed some light on the issue. GNU C closures need an executable
stack, but D doesn't. Would there be any other feature that require executable
stacks?
Not at the moment.
If yes, then an option to disable these features and make the stacks
non-executable would help. And why is it anyway that each object file has a
stack of it's own? I thought stacks were a per-thread thing?
Object files don't have their own stacks. I don't know what you're referring to.
