If you're coming from Java and relatively new to C, I added a primer and some reference links in an answer I gave here: stackoverflow.com/questions/33661457/… There's even a link there to a page that shows C memory layout.

Dec 5, 2015 at 0:03	comment	added	Ixrec		Yeah, that's pretty much how it works. For example, `mov eax, [esp-8]` moves the 4-byte value located 8 bytes below the stack pointer into register EAX. cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs216/guides/x86.html has some good vizualizations of how these variables get laid out.
