Any way to get stack start of generator?

[playXE]

Hello! How do I get stack start of generator? I need this for conservative roots in my GC

The Generator::into_raw API would return the internal stack memory pointer.

The Generator::from_raw API would convert from stack pointer back to Generator

Thanks! Would it also be possible to get saved context registers?

Actually the start of the stack memory is the saved context.

I am a little bit confused about this? Should I still use into_raw? Also, does the pointer returned by into_raw contain registers that are saved during context switch?

The memory looks like this: fixed size context memory(including saved registers) + real generator function stack. Yes, you should use into_raw, the pointer of the memory contains every thing needed to save.

Alright, but how do I get the size of that pointer as well? I need to tell my GC the size for proper processing
