 Thank lan for your answer
I am studing cmplier and linux on arm,I want to know how complier
(such as gcc) to allocate memory?

a. Global and static variables locate at data segment
b. When a function is called, memory is allocated on the stack to hold
 parameter values, local variables, and the address of the calling
function
 c. the struct is aligned based on the greatest alignment requirement
 of it's members.

according to elf or ABI?

do the segment originate from coff?
