Hi Jeff,

You are actually right. In fact, stackless is not enabled by default when
it is compiled for ARM architecture. I don't know why the definition for
"__arm__" or "__arm32__" is missing.

Here is how ''STACKLESS" is defined in "Stackless/stackless.h" in
stackless-2.6.5:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
---
#define STACKLESS

#ifdef STACKLESS_OFF
#undef STACKLESS
        /* an option to switch it off */
#elif defined(MS_WIN32) && !defined(MS_WIN64) && defined(_M_IX86)
        /* MS Visual Studio on X86 */
#elif defined(_WIN64) && defined(_M_X64)
        /* microsoft on 64 bit x64 thingies */
#elif defined(__GNUC__) && defined(__i386__)
        /* gcc on X86 */
#elif defined(__GNUC__) && defined(__amd64__)
        /* gcc on AMD64 */
#elif defined(__GNUC__) && defined(__PPC__) && defined(__linux__)
        /* gcc on PowerPC */
#elif defined(__GNUC__) && defined(__ppc__) && defined(__APPLE__)
        /* Apple MacOS X on PowerPC */
#elif defined(__GNUC__) && defined(sparc) && defined(sun)
        /* SunOs on sparc */
#elif defined(__GNUC__) && defined(__s390__) && defined(__linux__)
        /* Linux/S390 */
#elif defined(__GNUC__) && defined(__s390x__) && defined(__linux__)
        /* Linux/S390 zSeries */
#elif defined(__GNUC__) && defined(__mips__) && defined(__linux__)
        /* MIPS */
#else
        /* no supported platform */
#undef STACKLESS
#endif
---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
---

If you take a close look at it, there is no definition for "__arm__" or
"__arm32__". So I have to manually add that definition to the header file.

Now the problem is solved. I want to thank everyone who helped!

Bin

&gt; I have compiled stackless-2.6.5 for an ARM platform (ARMv7 architectur=
