本文讨论了在x86_64架构中，编译器如何通过帧指针省略优化来调整栈空间，使程序使用栈指针rsp而非rbp来访问局部变量和函数参数。这种优化可能导致变量访问偏移在函数中变化。

pushq   %rbp
movq    %rsp, %rbp
subq    $16, %rsp

rbp is the frame pointer on x86_64
	it gets a snapshot of the stack pointer rsp
	when adjustments are made to rsp 
		i.e. reserving space for local variables or pushing values on to the stack
		local variables and function parameters are still accessible from a constant offset from rbp.

A lot of compilers offer frame pointer omission as an optimization option; 
	this will make the generated assembly code access variables relative to rsp instead 
	and free up rbp as another general purpose register for use in functions.

gcc a.c --save-temps -fverbose-asm -O0 -fomit-frame-pointer

在这里插入图片描述

accessing values relative to rsp instead of rbp, 
	the offset from the pointer varies throughout the function.
