True :) Hopefully I'll get closures soon though. I got the frontend working, so I got all the functions marked if they need stack or heap closures, now I just got to actually implement them. Of course now felix keeps optimizing away my closure tests :) My plan is to just create an explicit structure to store my stack frame, and use the llvm trampoline intrinsic [1] to hide the pointer to it in the call to the inner function. Hopefully it won't be too difficult if I'm ignoring the issue of garbage collection.
