Java stack
In this section, we’ll delve into the intricacies of the Java stack – a fundamental component within the JVM. Like the PC, the Java stack is a private register exclusive to each thread, functioning as a repository for method execution information. This section delves into the Java stack’s operation, drawing parallels with classical languages such as C and shedding light on its role in storing local variables, partial results, method invocations, and results.
Like classical languages such as C, the Java stack operates by storing frames, each encapsulating crucial information related to method execution. These frames hold parameters, local variables, and other essential data. The Java stack’s functionality extends beyond direct variable modifications; instead, it gracefully inserts and removes frames to accommodate the evolving state of thread execution.
When a thread calls a method, the Java stack undergoes a dynamic transformation by inserting...
