Sorry for the unclear question: But currently Pad, User and Control stacks use the stack layout of stacks.c. The questions was, to use a common stack code for stacks.c and register.c. The internals of pads are more complex, that's right, though the implementation currently has a stack on the surface, i.e. C<new_pad> pushes a new lexical pad on the pad stack. But searching lexicals is O(n), I already suggested to use an OrderHash for that. Do you have more on the layout of lexical pads? leo
