> Yes, the term usage is strange, but it is an unrelated issue. It's better to create new PR to fix the term issue. @xiaoxiang781216 Agreed it can be changes in another PR. > In terms of address, "base" is "top" for a push-down stack, this is what's making things a bit confusing. However, I believe it's used consistently: xx_alloc = bottom and xx_base = top or bottom depending on the stack. Yes Memory allocations are base that is understood. The other is a visual thing for me. (I was indoctrinated by my first debugger http://www.pestingers.net/pdfs/s100-computers/vector-graphics/vector-raid-man.pdf - I wish there were pics) I find it incorrect and confusing on descending stack arch. Please read this with a smile....it it written with one...... Where do we put the lamp shade on a lamp? On the top or the base. If we hang fly paper from a pole? On the base it hits the floor. On the top it does not, and it grows downward What is the base address of a UART? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
