Question

So from my previous memmove question I would like to know how to find direction of stack growth.

  void stackDirection(int* i)
  {

     int j;

     if(&         


        

Answer 1

This is outside the scope of the C++ standard. It an implementation defined behavior and probably depends on the specific OS/processor architecture etc.

It is best not to rely or depend on such details, unless you are into ETHICAL hacking :) and / or not so much concerned with portability
