如何确定栈的增长方向地址是递增还是递减

#include<stdio.h>  
static int stack_dir;  
static void find_stack_direction (void)  {  
    static char   *addr = NULL;   /* address of first
                                     `dummy', once known */  
    char     dummy;          /* to get stack address */  

    if (addr == NULL)  
    {                           /* initial entry */  
        addr = &dummy;  

        find_stack_direction ();  /* recurse once */  
    }
