description 1. Technical Field A stack unwinding mechanism and method for same is presented. The stack unwinding mechanism reduces stack overflow problems by determining if an asynchronous function completed synchronously and unwinding the stack if the function did complete synchronously. The stack unwinding mechanism then completes the client's processing of the asynchronous function's task after the stack has been unwound. This allows client processing to take place when there is little chance of stack overflow or overgrowth. If the asynchronous function will complete asynchronously, the stack unwinding mechanism allows processing to continue normally because there is little chance for stack overflow in this situation. The various embodiments of the present invention disclosed herein are especially well-suited to embedded processor environments.
