   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).

   A "stack pointer" register tracks the top of the stack; it is adjusted each time a value is "pushed" onto the stack. The set of values pushed for one function call is termed a "stack frame". A stack frame consists at minimum of a return address. Automatic variables are also allocated on the stack.

   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 ...
