Do cpp object methods have their own stack frame?
I have a hypothesis here, but it's a little tough to verify.
Is there a unique stack frame for each calling thread when two threads invoke the same method of the same object instance? In a compiled binary, I understand a class to be a static code…

How did alloca() interact with other stack allocation?
Let's start from a simple example of stack allocation:
void f() {
int a, b;
