Suppose I have a very simple C program that just does this:

int i = 6; int j = 4; int k = 5; int a = i + j + k;

Since i,j, and k are on the stack, they will be located relative to the stack pointer. I am told the compiler determines these relative locations; my guess is the compiler translates "int a = i + j + k" into "Add the values located at (stack pointer - 3x), (stack pointer - 2x), and (stack pointer - x) and push the result to the stack." Am I correct?

Since i,j, and k are on the stack, they will be located relative to the stack pointer. I am told the compiler determines these relative locations; my guess is the compiler basically writes assembly code that says something to the effect of "Move the stack pointer to the next available spot in memory, then store the number 6. Then move the stack pointer down another x bytes and store the number 4. Then, move the stack pointer down another x bytes and store the number 5. Then, move the stack pointer down another x bytes. In this new spot, add the values located at (stack pointer - 3x), (stack pointer - 2x), and (stack pointer - x)" Am I correct?
