5.8.5 Function Parameters

MPLAB XC8 uses a fixed convention to pass arguments to a function. The method used to pass the arguments depends on the size and number of arguments involved, and on which stack model is used with the function.

Note: The names “argument” and “parameter” are often used interchangeably, but typically an argument is the value that is passed to the function and a parameter is the variable defined by the function to store the argument.
