search for: findstackdirect

Thanks very much. I only have one more question, (hopefully), which is, is there a better way of finding the direction of stack growth other than: static bool StackCmp(void *ptr) { volatile int a; return (void *)&a > ptr; } bool FindStackDirection() { volatile int a; return StackCmp((void *)&a); } Preferably one which isn't destroyed by optimization.

Sorry for the unnecessary list mail. No problem, this is a better way to go. The MallocInst and FreeInst instructions are about to be removed from LLVM IR.

I suggest you turn the scalars into arrays and make the ptr argument volatile as well. Other ways: If you are careful with tail recursion eliminiation,...
