Stack Memory

← Back to Stack vs Heap

Fast, LIFO (Last In, First Out) memory region for automatic allocation. Each function call creates a stack frame holding local variables, parameters, and return addresses. Stack allocation is extremely fast (just a pointer bump) but limited in size and scope.

Key Properties

  • Fast LIFO Allocation
  • Function Call Frames
  • Limited Size
