The generated code with O0 looks like this:
...
0x000055555587fcb1 <+28>: call 0x55555587fbd0 <grow_print_stack>
0x000055555587fcb6 <+33>: mov 0x8845c3(%rip),%rcx # 0x555556104280 <prstack>

0x000055555587fce0 <+75>: add %rcx,%rax
0x000055555587fce3 <+78>: mov 0x10(%rbp),%rcx
0x000055555587fce7 <+82>: mov 0x18(%rbp),%rbx
...
So it looks like prstack.sp is updated with the move at +51, i.e. before
the stack slot is initialized.
We could write
prstack.stack[prstack.sp] = e;
prstack.sp += 1;
Not sure how we then guarantee that e still in a register or the control
stack at the second line.
But my question was more whether MPS actually does call scan_prstack at
"any moment" or if this is just a theoretical possibility for some
possible future version of MPS.
