### Stack
|
||||
grows downwards from top of memory
|
||||
arguments are passed in reverse order with the stack so:
|
||||
Arguments not fitting into the 7 registers should be passed on the top of the stack, meaning they should be the last values pushed before the function call.
|
||||
Arguments are passed in reverse order with the stack so:
|
||||
lowest address = 1st stack arg
|
||||
highest address = last stack arg
|
||||
|
||||
Should a function return more values than fit into the 7 registers, the caller has to allocate space on the stack for them, and pass the pointer to that space in r7.
|
||||
This reduces the amount of argument registers to 6 and all arguments above that shall go on the stack, the pointer to the result stack shall **always** be passed in r7.
|
||||
r7 points at the highest available address for results, with the 8th result being stored there, the 9th below it and so on.
