Thanks for that link. Reading through one of the first sections about pushing parameters to the stack, I noticed the call: gcc -S -o example1.s example1.c However, example1.s looks very different on Mac than on Linux, in particular, on Mac the parameters are pushed in reverse order: Leh_func_begin2: ... movl $1, %eax movl $2, %ecx movl $3, %edx movl %eax, %edi movl %ecx, %esi callq _function Whereas on Linux, they are pushed in the order specified in that link: movl $3, %edx movl $2, %esi movl $1, %edi call function What is the reason behind this? Is it that the stack on OS X is implemented to grow up instead of down?
