Is the first variable declared in C at the topmost point of the stack or not?

Question

Suppose this code:

char buf;
*(&buf + 1) = 'a';
putchar(*(&buf + 1));

Where does character 'a' get stored, if &buf is at the top of the stack?

Answer 1

Martin Taylor In SoloLearn, the first variable declared has the highest address. So what occurs above the stack, here? I had thought that in C, there is a direct connection between the variable-number and the position of it on the stack.

Answer 2

Martin Taylor Thank you for the explanation. That really helped me.

Answer 3

Martin Taylor So the compiler checks for such situations and raises an error when such a thing happens. Thanks for the explanation.
