  2. Call stack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_stack

    This might include things like privilege level, exception-handling information, arithmetic modes, and so on. If needed, this may be stored in the call stack just as the return address is. The typical call stack is used for the return address, locals, and parameters (known as a call frame). In some environments there may be more or fewer ...

  3. Return statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_statement

    The return value from a function is provided within the function by making an assignment to an identifier with the same name as the function. [5] However, some versions of Pascal provide a special function Exit(exp); that can be used to return a value immediately from a function, or, without parameters, to return immediately from a procedure. [6]

  4. Calling convention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calling_convention

    All return values are returned on the stack. This makes naive implementations slower than calling conventions that keep more values in registers. However, threaded code implementations that cache several of the top stack values in registers—in particular, the return address—are usually faster than subroutine calling conventions that always ...

  5. JavaScript - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript

    The call stack shrinks and grows based on the function's needs. When the call stack is empty upon function completion, JavaScript proceeds to the next message in the queue. This is called the event loop, described as "run to completion" because each message is fully processed before the next message is considered.

  6. Value type and reference type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_type_and_reference_type

    Values of reference type refer to objects allocated in the heap, whereas values of value type are contained either on the call stack (in the case of local variables and function parameters) or inside their containing entities (in the case of fields of objects and array elements). (With reference types, it is only the reference itself that is ...

  7. Link register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_register

    A link register (LR for short) is a register which holds the address to return to when a subroutine call completes. This is more efficient than the more traditional scheme of storing return addresses on a call stack, sometimes called a machine stack. The link register does not require the writes and reads of the memory containing the stack ...

  8. Stack trace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_trace

    In computing, a stack trace (also called stack backtrace [1] or stack traceback [2]) is a report of the active stack frames at a certain point in time during the execution of a program. When a program is run, memory is often dynamically allocated in two places: the stack and the heap .

  9. JavaScript syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_syntax

    Variables in standard JavaScript have no type attached, so any value (each value has a type) can be stored in any variable. Starting with ES6 , the 6th version of the language, variables could be declared with var for function scoped variables, and let or const which are for block level variables.
