1.2: Calling Conventions

  • Port Specific Information Calling Mechanism
  • Port Specific Information Register Usage
  • Port Specific Information Parameter Passing
  • Port Specific Information User-Provided Routines
  • 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.
