The get_or_create_stack function is responsible for retrieving
or creating a stack based on the provided frame and prefix.
It first generates a key using the frame and prefix values.
If the stack corresponding to the key is found in the stackMap,
it is returned. Otherwise, a new stack is created by appending
the prefix and frame to the stackTable's 'data' array. The key
and the index of the newly created stack are added to the
stackMap for future reference.

I'm confused about what the 'stack' is.

It seems like a kind of index for the stackTable's data.

So this function returns an index, right?

Thanks,

The stack is a list of frames.

Yes, it is an index.

Correct, it returns an index. This index allows to access or identify
a specific stack within the table.
