   x86 unusual code sequence
  This is a question in a past paper, i'm hoping i can get a response in the next two hours before my test on the same module! because we're undecided on what the answer is (there are no solutions available)call nextnext:pop eaxobviously eax will store the instruction pointer, but is it of the instruction 'call next' or 'pop eax'. I'm inclined to say that it will be the 'pop eax' but i'd like to be sure   
  You're right.The return address is what's pushed onto the stack, and it would be silly for a function to return back to the call instruction - you'd end up in an infinite loop any time you called a function.
