RTEMS Hewlett Packard PA-RISC Applications Supplement
Each high-level language compiler generates subroutine entry and exit code based upon a set of rules known as the compiler's calling convention. These rules address the following issues:
A compiler's calling convention is of importance when interfacing to subroutines written in another language either assembly or high-level. Even when the high-level language and target processor are the same, different compilers may use different calling conventions. As a result, calling conventions are both processor and compiler dependent.
This chapter describes the calling conventions used by the GNU C and standard HP-UX compilers for the PA-RISC architecture.
