Chapter 5 - CFM-68K Runtime Conventions
This chapter covers data storage and parameter-passing conventions for the CFM-68K runtime environment. All CFM-68K runtime conventions are language independent. These conventions may be useful for low-level programming (if you are writing in assembly language, for example) or for optimizing higher-level code.
