ABSTRACT:
A system and method for managing utilization in a stack. A stack base and a stack pointer are initialized for the stack. Upon fetching a program instruction to be executed in a computing environment, a determination is made if the program instruction involves accessing a location within a valid stack range that is defined by a high water mark operable to identify the stack pointer's farthest location from the stack base. The farthest location is indicative of how far the stack has grown at any time during the program's execution. A warning may be provided upon determining that the location to be accessed is not within the valid stack range.
