<dt><a name="index-_005fget_005fssp"></a>CET Function: <em>ret_type</em> <strong>_get_ssp</strong> <em>(void)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Get the current value of shadow stack pointer if shadow stack support
from Intel CET is enabled in the hardware or <code>0</code> otherwise.
The <code>ret_type</code> is <code>unsigned long long</code> for 64-bit targets 
and <code>unsigned int</code> for 32-bit targets.

<dd><p>Increment the current shadow stack pointer by the size specified by the
function argument.  The argument is masked to a byte value for security
reasons, so to increment by more than 255 bytes you must call the function
multiple times.

<p>This code runs unconditionally on all 64-bit processors.  For 32-bit
processors the code runs on those that support multi-byte NOP instructions.
