Stack protection



Hi all !

I'm going to bore you with stack attacks once again ! :)

I am testing some kernel patches which prevent the system from being
vulnerable to stack overflows, and I am wondering : are there many languages
which require an executable stack ?

I think Ada needs it, but do you know more ? ie, are there such reasons to
refuse a non-executable stack ?

Thanx in advance !
VG
