Where is the format for a stack frame defined? I think that I remember Linus saying years ago that Linux's function call convention was identical (pretty much) to SVR4/x86, but I can't seem to find the message. I realized today that I don't know what the frames look like, and therefore I can't walk my stack auto-interrogatorily or do other nasty tricks I shouldn't be doing (or even think up nasty tricks, since I don't know what I have to work with.)
This is probably more of a gcc question, but since it was decided by The Man, I figured that his court would be the approprite place to ask. TIA for any pointers people can give.
