Part 5/10:
A pivotal concept in programming with assembly languages is calling conventions. These dictate the manner in which functions communicate. When a function in one code block calls another, both must agree on how parameters are passed and how results are returned.
By closely examining the assembly output from their C code, the author uncovers the nuances of ARM 64-bit calling conventions. They note how parameters are placed into specific registers before invoking a function. This knowledge is invaluable when writing functions in assembly, providing clarity on how to manage arguments and return values effectively.
