Re: C calling conventions: how to pass a struct parameter?

[Cezar Harabula <cezar dot harabula at open-plug dot com>]

Thank you for your answers. Unfortunately, I was not clear enough. I 
want to know what happens in the registers and in the stack when a 
procedure like

void PrintFoo(struct Foo foo)

is called. There is no universal C calling convention set for x86,  so I 
am interested in how GCC usually does.

What about a struct return value:
struct bar Function() ?

Thanks.
Cezar
