Security-improving technologies which could be deployed nowSecurity-improving technologies which could be deployed nowPosted Oct 15, 2004 6:41 UTC (Fri) by eru (subscriber, #2753)In reply to: Security-improving technologies which could be deployed now by iabervon Parent article: Security-improving technologies which could be deployed now Would there be any problem with making the stack grow in the opposite direction The direction the stack grows is usually fixed by the processor architecture, at least in all CISC-style processors. For example in the x86 family there are several common instructions that automaticlly push data to the stack or pop it. Making the stack grow in "unnatural" direction would require somehow working around their behaviour. Maybe you could do it but it certainly would impact performance and introduce extra complexity.
