What I meant was the order parameters are pushed on the stack. Please excuse my previous underspecified statement.
As a side node, pushing parameters right-to-left makes the implementation of open parameter lists much simpler (maybe this is another reason C tends to use it?).

Huh? Argument evaluation order is not really part of the ABI. C has *unspecified* evaluation order, so many implementations have evaluated them right-to-left because that's the way the stack grows (on most C implementations). But this is less relevant with optimizing compilers and register-based calling conventions. -- --Per Bothner [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://per.bothner.com/
