Really? The x86 family does indeed have stack-based addressing. In
particular, The BP register holds the base of the stack frame and the
assumed segment is SS. Even the lowly 8085 has some (undocumented) nod
toward stack addressing. --Chuck
Was the X86 family meant for pascal type languages?
Other than the small model, every thing is a hack.
