What does this gain? Coro still won't compile against 5.24.x without other changes (due to your context stack reworking), and still won't compile against 5.22.x (because this wouldn't be backported). > This should have relatively minimal effect (apart from 4K extra memory > usage per process), since all it would be doing is removing a constraint > on XS code (the vtable array can now be modified by XS code again). So as best I can tell, all this achieves is a 4K increase in memory usage per process. It doesn't fix Coro. What's the upside? Nicholas Clark
