     23 These are just some random notes I used during development of this
     24 port.  Please don't consider these to be "official" specifications,
     25 just additional information to help make the code easier to
     26 understand.

     46 Argument Passing
     47 ================
     48 
     49 r8c, m16c
     50 ---------
     51 
     52 First arg may be passed in r1l or r1 if it (1) fits (QImode or
     53 HImode), (2) is named, and (3) is an integer or pointer type (no
     54 structs, floats, etc).  Otherwise, it's passed on the stack.
     55 
     56 Second arg may be passed in r2, same restrictions (but not QImode),
     57 even if the first arg is passed on the stack.
     58 
     59 Third and further args are passed on the stack.  No padding is used,
     60 stack "alignment" is 8 bits.
     61 
     62 m32cm, m32c
     63 -----------
     64 First arg may be passed in r0l or r0, same restrictions as above.
     65 
     66 Second and further args are passed on the stack.  Padding is used
     67 after QImode parameters (i.e. lower-addressed byte is the value,
     68 higher-addressed byte is the padding), stack "alignment" is 16 bits.
     69 
     70 
     71 Return Value
     72 ============
     73 
     74 r8c, m16c
     75 ---------
     76 
     77 QImode in r0l
     78 HImode in r0
     79 near pointer in r0
     80 (desired)
     81 SImode in r2r0
     82 far pointer in r2r0
     83 (actual)
     84 Anything bigger than 16 bits is returned in memory, at mem0 (mem0
     85 through mem15 are provided by libgcc.a)
     86 
     87 Aggregate values (regardless of size) are returned by pushing a
     88 pointer to a temporary area on the stack after the args are pushed.
     89 The function fills in this area with the value.  Note that this
     90 pointer on the stack does not affect how register arguments, if any,
     91 are configured.
     92 
     93 m32cm, m32c
     94 -----------
     95 Same.
     96 
     97 
     98 Registers Preserved Across Calls
     99 ================================
    100 
    101 r8c, m16c
    102 ---------
    103 sb, fb, sp (i.e. nearly all registers are call clobbered)
    104 
    105 m32cm, m32c
    106 -----------
    107 r1, r2, r3, a0, a1, sb, fb, sp
    108 (except when used for return values)
    109 
    110 
    111 Interrupt Handlers
    112 ==================
    113 
    114 The stack frame is slightly different for interrupt handlers, because
    115 (1) we don't have a usable parent frame, and (2) we have to use
    116 special instructions to return and thus must save/restore everything
    117 differently.
