Win32 x86 prologue disassembly

Question

I have the following disassembly of a function prologue with comments. I'm unclear on what the author means in this line of disassembly "lea edi,[ebp-0xcc] ; getting the lowest address of stack frame". Dumping the headers of the executable I see the following in the OPTIONAL HEADER VALUES: 100000 size of stack reserve 1000. Windows Threads default stack size is 1MB so I'm believe the values from dumpbin are in units of Kilo.

Can you please clarify this statement: lea edi,[ebp-0xcc] ; getting the lowest address of stack frame

push ebp            ; establishing stack frame 
mov ebp,esp         ; save stack pointer in ebp
sub esp,0xcc        ; creating stack frame for local variables
push ebx            ; saving registers that might be used
push esi            ; outside
push edi            ;                                     
lea edi,[ebp-0xcc]  ; getting the lowest address of stack frame 
mov ecx,0x33        ; filling stack frame with 0xCC
mov eax,0xcccccccc  ; 
rep stosd           ;

Answer 1

this doesnt have anything to do with stack size in pe header

assume  esp = 1200cc 
so ebp will also be 1200cc
sub esp,0xcc  will make esp 120000   
the three pushes will alter esp but not ebp   
so  edi will be 120000   after that operation   
ecx = counter == 33  eax = 0xcccccccc 
so rep stosd will fill the space from 120000 to 1200cc with 0xcccccccc

simply put it is memset(&ebp,0xcc,0xcc);
