How to Control What Goes on the Stack
When you create a local variable, for instance, it's going to be on the stack or when you pass an argument to a function, it's probably on the end of the stack.

And so overall, the general idea is put as much things on the stack because the stack, as David said, is scratch storage. It does not need the garbage collector.
