  2. Call stack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_stack

    The call stack works well as a place for these parameters, especially since each call to a subroutine, which will have differing values for parameters, will be given separate space on the call stack for those values. In object-oriented languages such as C++, the list of parameters may also include the this pointer. Evaluation stack

  3. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    Most modern implementations of a function call use a call stack, a special case of the stack data structure, to implement function calls and returns. Each procedure call creates a new entry, called a stack frame , at the top of the stack; when the procedure returns, its stack frame is deleted from the stack, and its space may be used for other ...

  4. Calling convention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calling_convention

    When some code calls a function, design choices have been taken for where and how parameters are passed to that function, and where and how results are returned from that function, with these transfers typically done via certain registers or within a stack frame on the call stack. There are design choices for how the tasks of preparing for a ...

  5. x86 calling conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions

    In the context of the language C, function arguments are pushed on the stack in the right-to-left (RTL) order, i.e. the last argument is pushed first. Consider the following C source code snippet: int callee ( int , int , int ); int caller ( void ) { return callee ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) + 5 ; }

  6. Stack (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(abstract_data_type)

    Several algorithms use a stack (separate from the usual function call stack of most programming languages) as the principal data structure with which they organize their information. These include: Graham scan, an algorithm for the convex hull of a two-dimensional system of points. A convex hull of a subset of the input is maintained in a stack ...

  7. Return statement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_statement

    In C and C++, return exp; (where exp is an expression) is a statement that tells a function to return execution of the program to the calling function, and report the value of exp. If a function has the return type void , the return statement can be used without a value, in which case the program just breaks out of the current function and ...

  8. Stack trace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_trace

    For instance, inlining can cause missing stack frames, tail call optimizations can replace one stack frame with another, and frame pointer elimination can prevent call stack analysis tools from correctly interpreting the contents of the call stack. [6] For example, glibc's backtrace() function returns an output with the program function and ...

  9. Funarg problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funarg_problem

    The C programming language historically avoids the main difficulty of the funarg problem by not allowing function definitions to be nested; because the environment of every function is the same, containing just the statically allocated global variables and functions, a pointer to a function's code describes the function completely.
