Does the TriCore CPU have a hardware stack and support for explicit stack checking?

02-Feb-2026

The TriCore CPU does not have a hardware stack. Instead, the run-time environment uses a synthetic stack managed through register A10 for stack usage. As a result, there is no explicit stack checking option, as implementing such a feature would cause significant run-time penalties.
