This is useful because I'm pretty sure GCC moves the stack pointer in one go rather than incrementally through the life of the function.<p>By doing this, you can determine the stack footprint of most functions pretty quickly, and focus your attention on the heavy users. http://lwn.net/Articles/86424/rss 2004-05-22T20:32:21+00:00 dac see the full post in:<p>http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/5/14/34<p>It has comments!<br> http://lwn.net/Articles/86422/rss 2004-05-22T19:54:24+00:00 giraffedata Since you've apparently decoded the program, could you post a description of what it does? <p> I don't mean a character-by-character description of its operation; just the basic strategy for finding stack overflowing code. http://lwn.net/Articles/86286/rss 2004-05-21T11:58:04+00:00 dac I think you want the sort after the perl script and you want &quot;sort -n&quot;, or possibly &quot;sort -rn&quot;.<br>
