When execution enters a new function by performing call I do often see this code template (generating by Gnu Debugger):

0x00401170 push %ebp 0x00401171 mov %esp,%ebp 0x00401173 pop %ebp 

So what's the purpose of moving esp to ebp?

When execution enters a new function by performing call I do often see this code template (asm list generated by Gnu Debugger when in debugging mode):

0x00401170 push %ebp 0x00401171 mov %esp,%ebp 0x00401173 pop %ebp 

So what's the purpose of moving esp to ebp?
