Re: how to set some value at a memory location in stack
Hey Ian,
I have been executing the code all this time. But apparently it was
generating segmentation fault error.
I configured the compiler with --disable-libssp option to disable the
stack protector. Also I modified the hard frame pointer offset in the
compute_frame_layout() method.
But still it is showing segmentation fault.
