compiler construction - Learning C++: Example of Stack Underflow in C++ -


what can simple example in c++ causes stack-underflow in case of invoking , returning method calls. familiar calling convention, i.e thiscall, stdcall , cdecl , way clean stack. in specific, wouldn't stack underflow taken care code generated compiler automatically me ?

what situations can me trouble stack-underflow ??

the way can see happening if declared function use stdcall (or other calling convention specifies callee clean stack) , invoke function through function pointer specified cdecl (or other calling convention stack cleaned caller). if that, called function pop stack before returning , caller pop stack leading underflow , terrible things.

in specific case of member functions, calling convention referred thiscall , whether caller or callee cleans stack depends on compiler.

see here details of calling conventions.
