What is the difference between a stack pointer and a frame pointer?
What will be an ideal response?
A stack pointer points to the top of the stack. A frame pointer points to the base of the current stack frame. The frame pointer is used to access parameters and local variables from the current stack frame in the current function. If the current function calls a new function, that new function can have its own stack frame with its own frame pointer, whereas the existing stack pointer will still be pointing at the top of the stack. Having separate stack and frame pointers effectively decouples stack and frame functions.
