Stack Frames

Runtime call stack management for function execution.

Why this exists​

Stack frames enable proper function call nesting and error traceback.

How it works​

Each function call creates a stack frame with location information for debugging.

Examples​

When a function is called:

  1. Create new stack frame
  2. Push to call stack
  3. Execute function
  4. Pop frame on return

Common mistakes​

  • Not understanding stack overflow limits
  • Assuming stack frames persist after return
