stackdependent
Stackdependent is an informal term used to describe code, modules, or systems whose behavior or safety depends on the state or layout of the call stack at runtime. The concept is discussed mainly in low-level programming, compiler design, and security research, rather than as a formal language feature.
Stack-dependent code may rely on properties such as the position of the stack pointer or frame pointer,
Consequences include portability problems across compilers and architectures, subtle and hard-to-reproduce bugs, and security concerns. Stack
Examples include code that uses fixed frame offsets to locate local data or that relies on the
