That's obviously a problem, but it only answers the second question, not the first one.

A major barrier to stacklessness is that a lot of extension modules would need to be rewritten in a completely different way.

Does it make it possible for stock CPython to become stackless? Dunno about that, but I do know that having stack effect info for the bytecode could help with things like bytecode verification (without having to define a bunch of magic constants that duplicate information from the innards of ceval.c). ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
