Using GCC's Nested Functions with Wide Pointers and No Trampolines II

Blog Contact/Impressum Using GCC's Nested Functions with Wide Pointers and no Trampolines II Martin Uecker, 2026-07-14 Introduction When the address of a nested function is taken, GCC creates at trampoline at run-time. This trampoline is placed on the stack, which means that the stack has to be executable. This is problematic because a non-executable stack is an important security feature.
