• unwind the stack vi. 1. [techspeak] During the execution of a procedural language
  one is said to `unwind the stack' from a called procedure up to a caller when one discards the stack frame and any number of frames above it, popping back up to the level of the given caller....
• mash the stack: [C programming] n. To corrupt the execution stack by writing past the end of a local array or other data structure.
  Code that smashes the stack can cause a return from the routine to jump to a random address, resulting in some of the most insidious data-dependent bugs known to mankind....
• pop: /pop/ [from the operation that removes the top of a stack, and the fact that procedure return addresses are usually saved on the stack] (also capitalized `POP') 1.
  vt. To remove something from a {stack} or {pdl}....
• push: [from the operation that puts the current information on a stack
  and the fact that procedure return addresses are saved on a stack] (Also PUSH /push/ or PUSHJ /push'J/, the latter based on the PDP-10 procedure call instruction....
• ack n. The set of things a person has to do in the future.

• pop /pop/ [from the operation that removes the top of a stack, and the fact that procedure return addresses are usually saved on the stack] (also capitalized `POP') 1.
  vt. To remove something from a stack or PDL. If a person says he/she has popped something from his stack, that means he/she has finally finished working on it and can now remove it from the list of things hanging overhead....
• pam: [from the {MUD} community] vt. 1. To crash a program by overrunning a fixed-size buffer with excessively large input data.
  See also {buffer overflow}, {overrun screw}, {smash the stack}....
• ack puke: n. Some processor architectures are said to `puke their guts onto the stack' to save their internal state during exception processing.
  The Motorola 68020, for example, regurgitates up to 92 bytes on a bus fault....
