Stack corruption in C++

Question

In C++, in which way the stack may get corrupted. One way I guess is to overwriting the stack variables by accessing an array beyond its boundaries. Is there any other way t

Answer 1

Taking pointers to stack variables is a good way:

void foo()
{
  my_struct s;
  bar(&s);
}

If bar keeps a copy of the pointer then anything can happen in the future.

Summing up: Stack corruption happens when there's stray pointers pointing to the stack.
