What’s a stack spill?

• toast0 4y ago
  A stack spill is passing parameters on the stack instead of in registers. It's unavoidable when the number of parameters exceeds the number of registers available for passing parameters (the parameters spill over onto the stack) or if the parameters don't fit into the registers.

    AHHH thanks. Now that I know it's obvious from the name ;)
