Memory as a Programming Concept in C and C++

A basic understanding of function calls and C or C++ calling conventions may be gleaned from the C and C++ texts listed in references for Chapters 2 and 3.

The flow-of-control aspects of function calls and use of the system stack are described in the operating system texts listed in Chapter 2.
