		yosefk 10 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Limitations of frame pointer unwinding it does present a conclusion. once the kernel supports .sframe it will be all-around superior to -fomit-frame-pointer, and a better default for distros to use.

It does cause more memory pressure because the kernel will have to look at the user-space memory for decoding registers.

So yes it will be faster than alternatives to frame-pointers, but it still wont be as fast as frame pointers.
