See the documentation in gcc/gcc/doc/rtl.texi, search for "(call".

See the code in emit-call.c, search for GEN_CALL.  Note that the value
passed in is rounded_stack_size_rtx which is a highly suggestive
variable name.  You can look at the code a bit more to see exactly what
value this value is going to have.

If you have a tree, then try looking at DECL_ARGUMENTS.  There is also
TYPE_ARG_TYPES (TREE_TYPE (function)), but that only works if you have a
prototype.

If you have RTL, then there is probably no safe and easy way to
determine this.  You can try looking up the function decl from the
symbol_ref in the call, but you may not always have one.  You can try
using the nargs field, but there is no guarantee that it will be
non-zero if there are arguments, though it may be for your target if all
arguments go on the stack.
