Frame Pointer

Back{: .button}

Frame pointer points to the base of the stack trace. This is done by having a dedicated register allocated just for the frame pointer.

In compilers the frame pointer can be exposed for benchmarking purposes by adding the compiler flag -fnoomit-frame-pointer, this improves the call graph
