If it was code in JavaScriptCore that was no longer used I could see the point,

But since it's WTF functionality that isn't being used in another component 
atm. I would tend to keep it. 

But then I've always hated ( and been bitten by ) things like "its allways 
going to be 32bit, chars are always signed, stacks always grow down,  
everything is little-endian" etc. So maybe I'm over-protective. 

Just my 2c.

Thanks.

Subject: [webkit-dev] C stack direction

Hi folks,

I'm currently doing some work involving checks on the bounds of the native 
stack.  According to WTF::StackBounds, it appears that WINCE is the only port 
that can potentially have a stack that grows up.  Is anyone still building, 
testing, and using this configuration with an upward growing stack?  I'm 
wondering whether to drop support for upward growing stacks altogether.  Our 
JITs already don't support it.  Any opinions?

Thanks.

Mark
