SPARC (V8 at least) is the same, just with 6 instead of 4 argument registers: %i0 to %i5.

- tptacek 16y agoI think SPARC has always had register argument passing; it's practically the design thesis for the processor.
- pmjordan 16y agoIt's not that arguments are passed in registers that makes it so complicated, but the fact that there are separate register files for integer/pointer and floating-point types. Most classic RISC architectures have only one register file.
