| | The Memory Management Glossary: S |
 | | Typically, stack allocation is performed on top of the main stack, but one can have a separate data stack for this purpose as well, as in Forth, or even multiple ones, as in the PostScript® language. |
 | | Using only stack allocation, without heap allocation, is somewhat restrictive, as only objects whose size is known at compile-time can be returned from a procedure. |
 | | Stack allocation means run-time allocation and deallocation of storage in last-in/first-out order. |
