  2. Stack (abstract data type) - Wikipedia

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

    Expressions can be represented in prefix, postfix or infix notations and conversion from one form to another may be accomplished using a stack. Many compilers use a stack to parse syntax before translation into low-level code. Most programming languages are context-free languages, allowing them to be parsed with stack-based machines.

  3. Parent pointer tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parent_pointer_tree

    A compiler for a language such as C creates a spaghetti stack as it opens and closes symbol tables representing block scopes. When a new block scope is opened, a symbol table is pushed onto a stack. When the closing curly brace is encountered, the scope is closed and the symbol table is popped.

  4. Call stack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_stack

    In a language with free pointers or non-checked array writes (such as in C), the mixing of control flow data which affects the execution of code (the return addresses or the saved frame pointers) and simple program data (parameters or return values) in a call stack is a security risk, and is possibly exploitable through stack buffer overflows ...

  5. x86 calling conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions

    The cdecl (which stands for C declaration) is a calling convention for the programming language C and is used by many C compilers for the x86 architecture. [1] In cdecl, subroutine arguments are passed on the stack.

  6. Stack-based memory allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack-based_memory_allocation

    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 local data of variable length. If a region of memory lies on the thread's stack, that memory is said to have been allocated on the stack, i.e. stack-based memory allocation (SBMA).

  7. 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. Memory is continuously allocated on a stack but not on a ...

  8. Stack machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_machine

    the bs (programming language) in Unix uses a virtual stack machine to process commands, after first transposing provided input language form, into reverse-polish notation; the Lua (programming language) C API; the Uxn virtual machine; the TON Virtual Machine (TVM) for The Open Network smart contratcs

  9. Function prologue and epilogue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_prologue_and_epilogue

    In assembly language programming, the function prologue is a few lines of code at the beginning of a function, which prepare the stack and registers for use within the function. Similarly, the function epilogue appears at the end of the function, and restores the stack and registers to the state they were in before the function was called.
