does the do while loop use hardware stack? what other ccs implementation of c and also its own built-in functions use up harware stack?

The hardware stack on a PIC, is _only_ basically used for call/return operations. It is possible on the latter chips to manually access the stack, but it is small, & quite slow to access this way. The stack is not a general purpose 'register' stack as is found on many other processors. if you call a subroutine, and this is not coded as 'inline', then the stack will be used to hold the return address. Otherwise the stack will not be used.

Best Wishes
