Hi,
I would greatly appreciate is someone could help me with the following
question:


In code generated by gcc/g++ on linux running on intel pentium II, is
any other data stored between a stack frames (for a function) base
pointer and the return address from that function (which also stored
on the stack). Put differently, is it correct to assume that return
address from a function is stored right next to the base pointer for
the functions stack frame?


Thanks
Pradeep
