DOCERR: The Stack Grows into Low Memory (39444)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) 5.1
This article was previously published under Q39444 SUMMARY
On Page 300 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler Programmer's Guide," the
first paragraph incorrectly states that "it is possible to return the
stack to its original status by subtracting the correct number of
words from the SP register." Instead, after pushing values onto the
stack, it is possible to return the stack to its original status by
adding the correct number of words to the SP register.
Also, the first example on Page 300 uses the SUB command to restore
the stack pointer. The ADD command should be used instead.
