+<a name="index-arguments-on-stack"></a>
+<a name="index-stack-arguments"></a>
+
+<p>The macros in this section control how arguments are passed
+on the stack. See the following section for other macros that
+control passing certain arguments in registers.
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fPROMOTE_005fPROTOTYPES"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_PROMOTE_PROTOTYPES</strong> <em>(const_tree <var>fntype</var>)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>This target hook returns <code>true</code> if an argument declared in a
+prototype as an integral type smaller than <code>int</code> should actually be
+passed as an <code>int</code>. In addition to avoiding errors in certain
+cases of mismatch, it also makes for better code on certain machines.
+The default is to not promote prototypes.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fPUSH_005fARGUMENT"></a>Target Hook: <em>bool</em> <strong>TARGET_PUSH_ARGUMENT</strong> <em>(unsigned int <var>npush</var>)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>This target hook returns <code>true</code> if push instructions will be
+used to pass outgoing arguments. When the push instruction usage is
+optional, <var>npush</var> is nonzero to indicate the number of bytes to
+push. Otherwise, <var>npush</var> is zero. If the target machine does not
+have a push instruction or push instruction should be avoided,
+<code>false</code> should be returned. That directs GCC to use an alternate
+strategy: to allocate the entire argument block and then store the
+arguments into it. If this target hook may return <code>true</code>,
+<code>PUSH_ROUNDING</code> must be defined.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-PUSH_005fARGS_005fREVERSED"></a>Macro: <strong>PUSH_ARGS_REVERSED</strong></dt>
+<dd><p>A C expression. If nonzero, function arguments will be evaluated from
+last to first, rather than from first to last. If this macro is not
+defined, it defaults to <code>PUSH_ARGS</code> on targets where the stack
+and args grow in opposite directions, and 0 otherwise.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-PUSH_005fROUNDING"></a>Macro: <strong>PUSH_ROUNDING</strong> <em>(<var>npushed</var>)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>A C expression that is the number of bytes actually pushed onto the
+stack when an instruction attempts to push <var>npushed</var> bytes.
+</p>
+<p>On some machines, the definition
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">#define PUSH_ROUNDING(BYTES) (BYTES)
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>will suffice. But on other machines, instructions that appear
+to push one byte actually push two bytes in an attempt to maintain
+alignment. Then the definition should be
+</p>
+<div class="smallexample">
+<pre class="smallexample">#define PUSH_ROUNDING(BYTES) (((BYTES) + 1) &amp; ~1)
+</pre></div>
+
+<p>If the value of this macro has a type, it should be an unsigned type.
+</p></dd></dl>

+<a name="index-outgoing_005fargs_005fsize"></a>
+<a name="index-crtl_002d_003eoutgoing_005fargs_005fsize"></a>
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-ACCUMULATE_005fOUTGOING_005fARGS"></a>Macro: <strong>ACCUMULATE_OUTGOING_ARGS</strong></dt>
+<dd><p>A C expression. If nonzero, the maximum amount of space required for outgoing arguments
+will be computed and placed into
+<code>crtl-&gt;outgoing_args_size</code>. No space will be pushed
+onto the stack for each call; instead, the function prologue should
+increase the stack frame size by this amount.
+</p>
+<p>Setting both <code>PUSH_ARGS</code> and <code>ACCUMULATE_OUTGOING_ARGS</code>
+is not proper.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-REG_005fPARM_005fSTACK_005fSPACE"></a>Macro: <strong>REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE</strong> <em>(<var>fndecl</var>)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>Define this macro if functions should assume that stack space has been
+allocated for arguments even when their values are passed in
+registers.
+</p>
+<p>The value of this macro is the size, in bytes, of the area reserved for
+arguments passed in registers for the function represented by <var>fndecl</var>,
+which can be zero if GCC is calling a library function.
+The argument <var>fndecl</var> can be the FUNCTION_DECL, or the type itself
+of the function.
+</p>
+<p>This space can be allocated by the caller, or be a part of the
+machine-dependent stack frame: <code>OUTGOING_REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE</code> says
+which.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-INCOMING_005fREG_005fPARM_005fSTACK_005fSPACE"></a>Macro: <strong>INCOMING_REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE</strong> <em>(<var>fndecl</var>)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>Like <code>REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE</code>, but for incoming register arguments.
+Define this macro if space guaranteed when compiling a function body
+is different to space required when making a call, a situation that
+can arise with K&amp;R style function definitions.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-OUTGOING_005fREG_005fPARM_005fSTACK_005fSPACE"></a>Macro: <strong>OUTGOING_REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE</strong> <em>(<var>fntype</var>)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>Define this to a nonzero value if it is the responsibility of the
+caller to allocate the area reserved for arguments passed in registers
+when calling a function of <var>fntype</var>. <var>fntype</var> may be NULL
+if the function called is a library function.
+</p>
+<p>If <code>ACCUMULATE_OUTGOING_ARGS</code> is defined, this macro controls
+whether the space for these arguments counts in the value of
+<code>crtl-&gt;outgoing_args_size</code>.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-STACK_005fPARMS_005fIN_005fREG_005fPARM_005fAREA"></a>Macro: <strong>STACK_PARMS_IN_REG_PARM_AREA</strong></dt>
+<dd><p>Define this macro if <code>REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE</code> is defined, but the
+stack parameters don&rsquo;t skip the area specified by it.
+</p>
+<p>Normally, when a parameter is not passed in registers, it is placed on the
+stack beyond the <code>REG_PARM_STACK_SPACE</code> area. Defining this macro
+suppresses this behavior and causes the parameter to be passed on the
+stack in its natural location.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-TARGET_005fRETURN_005fPOPS_005fARGS"></a>Target Hook: <em>poly_int64</em> <strong>TARGET_RETURN_POPS_ARGS</strong> <em>(tree <var>fundecl</var>, tree <var>funtype</var>, poly_int64 <var>size</var>)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>This target hook returns the number of bytes of its own arguments that
+a function pops on returning, or 0 if the function pops no arguments
+and the caller must therefore pop them all after the function returns.
+</p>
+<p><var>fundecl</var> is a C variable whose value is a tree node that describes
+the function in question. Normally it is a node of type
+<code>FUNCTION_DECL</code> that describes the declaration of the function.
+From this you can obtain the <code>DECL_ATTRIBUTES</code> of the function.
+</p>
+<p><var>funtype</var> is a C variable whose value is a tree node that
+describes the function in question. Normally it is a node of type
+<code>FUNCTION_TYPE</code> that describes the data type of the function.
+From this it is possible to obtain the data types of the value and
+arguments (if known).
+</p>
+<p>When a call to a library function is being considered, <var>fundecl</var>
+will contain an identifier node for the library function. Thus, if
+you need to distinguish among various library functions, you can do so
+by their names. Note that &ldquo;library function&rdquo; in this context means
+a function used to perform arithmetic, whose name is known specially
+in the compiler and was not mentioned in the C code being compiled.
+</p>
+<p><var>size</var> is the number of bytes of arguments passed on the
+stack. If a variable number of bytes is passed, it is zero, and
+argument popping will always be the responsibility of the calling function.
+</p>
+<p>On the VAX, all functions always pop their arguments, so the definition
+of this macro is <var>size</var>. On the 68000, using the standard
+calling convention, no functions pop their arguments, so the value of
+the macro is always 0 in this case. But an alternative calling
+convention is available in which functions that take a fixed number of
+arguments pop them but other functions (such as <code>printf</code>) pop
+nothing (the caller pops all). When this convention is in use,
+<var>funtype</var> is examined to determine whether a function takes a fixed
+number of arguments.
+</p></dd></dl>

+<dl>
+<dt><a name="index-CALL_005fPOPS_005fARGS"></a>Macro: <strong>CALL_POPS_ARGS</strong> <em>(<var>cum</var>)</em></dt>
+<dd><p>A C expression that should indicate the number of bytes a call sequence
+pops off the stack. It is added to the value of <code>RETURN_POPS_ARGS</code>
+when compiling a function call.
+</p>
+<p><var>cum</var> is the variable in which all arguments to the called function
+have been accumulated.
+</p>
+<p>On certain architectures, such as the SH5, a call trampoline is used
+that pops certain registers off the stack, depending on the arguments
+that have been passed to the function. Since this is a property of the
+call site, not of the called function, <code>RETURN_POPS_ARGS</code> is not
+appropriate.
