How the operating system works
In addition to storing the computer program and the call stack mechanism function, there is a very basic concept is interrupted, the three key mechanism method can be called three magic computer: stored-program computer, function calls, interrupts
Stack effects: frame recorded as a function call, passing function parameters, return value address, it provides functions inside the local amount of storage space.
Stack registers associated ESP: Stack pointer stack stack EBP: base address pointer to the stack stack bottom
Stack operations: push pop
