It depends on what you mean by "stack".

Most C++ implementations use a "stack" in the sense of a contiguous
region of memory managed via a pointer to the "top".

A contiguous memory "stack" (which is not required by the standard) is
the most common way to implement the abstract last-in first-out
semantics of function calls.  There are implementations (at least for C,
and probably for C++) that do something similar to a malloc call to
allocate storage for a new function call.
