Hi everyone,
I know that this is embarassingly simple but I could not quite figure
out why it so. So I decided to ask you for some insight.
I wrote a small program to retrieve stack pointer but I could not
understand the results.
FYI, here is the program.
unsigned long get_esp()
{
__asm__("movl %esp, %eax");
}
int main()
{
printf("ESP: 0x%x\n", get_esp());
int a;
printf("ESP: 0x%x\n", get_esp());
return 0;
}
result)
ESP: 0xbf9fb048
ESP: 0xbf9fb048
I thought that I should get different value for the 2nd printf because
I have 'int a' in between but when I run it I am getting the same
value for both printfs.
Can anyone give me some insight on this? I am simply trying to get
stack pointer here. I am sorry for simple question and I tried to
google this but I was not good enough to find an answer. Thank you
very much in advance.
