Assume all variables are signed 32bit quantities except for

Assume all variables are signed 32-bit quantities, except for when you can tell they are characters. Topic: Function calls in UNIX Write assembly code to implement the following function calls, using C/UNIX calling conventions. Show the contents of the stack on entering the called function.

Solution

Contents of stack for the functions given:

Pointer

Stack Contents

Address

j

12

i

8

Return address

4

ebp

Offset Starting Address

0

m

-4

n

-8

SomePointer

p

-12

Since the given function is 32-bit (4 bytes) each address has the difference of 4 bytes and the negative address given are reserved by the OS or the kernel to store the values of m, n, p.
