In software, a stack overflow occurs if the call stack pointer exceeds the stack bound. The call stack may consist of a limited amount of address space...

In computing, a stack trace (also called stack backtrace or stack traceback) is a report of the active stack frames at a certain point in time during the...

In software, a stack buffer overflow or stack buffer overrun occurs when a program writes to a memory address on the program's call stack outside of the...

microcontrollers, have a single-instruction subroutine call that uses a dedicated hardware stack to store return addresses—such hardware supports only...

separate stack that "shadows" the program call stack. In the function prologue, a function stores its return address to both the call stack and the shadow...

A stack register is a computer central processor register whose purpose is to keep track of a call stack. On an accumulator-based architecture machine...

from within itself may cause the call stack to have a size equal to the sum of the input sizes of all involved calls. It follows that, for problems that...

A stack overflow is a programming error when too much memory is used on the call stack. Stack overflow may also refer to: Stack buffer overflow, when...
