Hi Gophers, I am experimenting with assembler, ABI0 and stuff. While I was learning the ABI0 frame structure from disassembled code, I noticed that the stack check happens before subtracting from RSP (I'm on arm64, but the same applies to SP on amd64, I mean the hardware register ofc). Then, what if the frame being allocated is big enough to cause trouble? Do you mean, what if the stack check fails? It calls into runtime.morestack. morestack will allocate a new, larger stack and copy the existing contents over. Also, after the CALL runtime.morestack*, what is the safe amount to subtract from RSP? There's no specific amount. Probably the frame that didn't fit at the start will fit after calling morestack. But not necessarily, if the frame is really large it will call into morestack again. (That's why after calling morestack we jump to the top of the function and redo the stack check.) cheers, Wojciech -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
