Are register values preserved between function calls on amd64? I'm pretty sure
they are whipped out on i386, but I'm sure about amd64.
Do I need to write parameters to %rbp offset, then follow the x86-abi for
registers to write to before making the function call? When I disassemble C
code, it looks like the parameters are written to %rbp, then to the registers
per the x86-84 abi, and then the function is called? Is this the preferred way
to write function calls? And I would use the same method to save the return
value in %rax, right?
Thanks,
Brian
