Tracing Stack Usage and Stack Frames in a Debugger
To really see the stack come alive, it's best viewed in a debugger during program execution. In this video, we'll do just that. Using a simple program and IDA's built-in debugger, we'll trace several function calls to view how the stack is used. We'll also pay special attention to calling conventions and stack frames to see what happens to those frames as other functions are called and when functions "unwind".
