stack frame

stack frame
Danh từ
Số nhiều: stack frames

This term is a technical specialization used almost exclusively in computer science and software engineering. It describes the specific segment of memory allocated to a function during its execution. The concept is central to understanding how programs manage recursion and local state, as each nested function call pushes a new frame onto the stack and pops it upon completion.

In a professional debugging or systems programming context, referring to the stack frame allows developers to pinpoint the exact state of a program at the moment of a crash. It is distinct from the general call stack, which is the entire collection of these frames.

Ý nghĩa

Danh từstack frame

A data structure used in computer architecture to store the local variables, arguments, and return address for a single function call on the call stack.

The debugger allowed the developer to inspect the stack frame for each active function in the call hierarchy.
