Summary of ABI for calls on x64
===============================
Data classes of interest as defined by the ABI:
- INTEGER
- SSE
- MEMORY
Unions are treated like structures with the alignment
of their most demanding member, and the size of their
largest member.
Classification:
1. The size of each argument gets rounded up to eightbytes.
(It keeps the stack always 8 bytes aligned.)
2. _Bool, char, short, int, long, long long and pointers
are in the INTEGER class
3. float and double are in the SSE class
4. If the size of an object is larger than two eightbytes
or if contains unaligned fields, it has class MEMORY.
5. Otherwise, pack all fields into two eighbytes and
recursively classify them. If any of them is MEMORY
the result is MEMORY, if any is INTEGER the result
is INTEGER, otherwise the result is SSE.
Passing:
- Classify arguments in order.
- INTEGER arguments use in order %rdi %rsi %rdx %rcx
%r8 %r9
- SSE arguments use in order %xmm0 - %xmm7
- MEMORY gets passed on the stack
- When we run out of registers for an aggregate, revert
the assignment for the first eightbytes and pass it
on the stack.
- When all registers are taken, write arguments on the
stack from right to left.
Returning.
- Classify the return type.
- Use %rax and %rdx in order for INTEGER return values
- Use %xmm0 and %xmm1 in order for SSE return values
- I the return value's class is MEMORY, the first
argument of the function %rdi was a pointer to an
area big enough to fit the return value. The function
writes the return value there and returns the address
(that was in %rdi) in %rax.
