From 5042a4ffc1363d6f0f99a3afd79f76cf2da738d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carlos Maniero Date: Wed, 10 May 2023 22:24:14 -0300 Subject: gas: implement function calls For now function calls are following the C's calling convention, which means they are using the following registers to pass functions' arguments: rdi, rsi, rdx, rcx, r8, r9 If a function has more then 6 parameters, the compilation will fail. To enable function with more than 6 parameters we will need to save the extra arguments on stack. Naming: parameters: function parameters are the variables a function receives. arguments: Arguments are the values passed to a function when calling it. Calling mechanism: When a function is called, all the expressions passed as argument are evaluated, after the evaluation, the result is stored on the register that represents its argument position, the first argument will be stored on rdi, the second on rsi and so on. Receiving mechanism: When a function starts, the first thing it does is store all the registers onto the stack. So rdi will be stored on -8(rbp), rsi on -16(rbp) and so on. And, a ref_entry is created making the relationship parameter-stack_offset.
