2. Call stack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_stack

   The stack frame usually includes at least the following items (in push order): the arguments (parameter values) passed to the routine (if any); the return address back to the routine's caller (e.g. in the DrawLine stack frame, an address into DrawSquare's code); and; space for the local variables of the routine (if any).

3. Data segment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_segment

   A stack frame consists at minimum of a return address. Automatic variables are also allocated on the stack. The stack segment traditionally adjoined the heap segment and they grew towards each other; when the stack pointer met the heap pointer, free memory was exhausted. With large address spaces and virtual memory techniques they tend to be ...

4. Goto - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goto

   PL/I allows branches out of the current block. A calling procedure can pass a label as an argument to a called procedure which can then exit with a branch. The value of a label variable includes the address of a stack frame, and a goto out of block pops the stack.

5. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

   Each stack frame contains the private data of the corresponding call, which typically includes the procedure's parameters and internal variables, and the return address.

6. Stack-based memory allocation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack-based_memory_allocation

   At a minimum, a thread's stack is used to store the location of a return address provided by the caller in order to allow return statements to return to the correct location. The stack is often used to store variables of fixed length local to the currently active functions. Programmers may further choose to explicitly use the stack to store ...

7. Calling convention - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calling_convention

   In particular, how the stack frame is restored so the caller may continue after the callee has finished. Whether and how metadata describing the arguments is passed; Where the previous value of the frame pointer is stored, which is used to restore the stack frame when the subroutine ends. Options include within the call stack, or in a specific ...
