execve调用函数后，堆栈如何看待？ 甚至还有寄信人地址吗？

Question

I'm trying to understand how the stack behaves when you use system call execve to call a new function.

I understand there should be variables argc , argv and envp . The last two should be pointers to the vectors containing the arguments and the environment. Those vectors are also in the stackframe.

I'm trying to understand what else might be in the stackframe. Specifically: Does it follow any know calling convention? Is there a return address? Does it store the old stackpointer, as a function would?

Answer 1

According to the Linux man page :

execve() does not return on success, and the text, data, bss, and stack of the calling process are overwritten by that of the program loaded.

So, no, there is no return address, stack frame, etc.
