Stack Frames and Parameter Passing

Each function call creates a stack frame (see Figure 1).

parameter-passing-from-c.gifFigure 1. Parameter Passing From C

The parameters of a called function are passed to an assembler routine in a right-to-left order. The two leftmost parameters are passed in registers unless they are defined as a struct or union type, in which case they are also passed on the stack. The remaining parameters are always passed on the stack. See the following example of a call:

f(w,x,y,z)
