FPC is using the CPU target specified parameter manager to manage the location of parameters passed into and routines.
CPU target should implement parameter manager in cpupara.pas unit.
The unit should initialize the global ParaManager variable if an instance of the CPU specific class.
ParaManager:=tcpuparamanager.create
The basic TParaManager class cannot and should not be created, as it contain the abstract methods that should be implemented by CPU target implementation class.
Methods to Implement=
The following methods are critical for CPU target implementation
push_addr_param
Returns true if a parameter is too large to copy and only the address is pushed.
function push_addr_param(varspez:tvarspez;def : tdef;calloption : tproccalloption) : boolean;virtual;abstract;
create_paraloc_info
This is used to populate the location information on all parameters for the routine as seen in either the caller or the callee. It returns the size allocated on the stack
function create_paraloc_info(p : tabstractprocdef; side: tcallercallee):longint;virtual;abstract;
create_varargs_paraloc_info
This is used to populate the location information on all parameters for the routine that are passed as varargs. It returns the size allocated on the stack (including the normal parameters)
function create_varargs_paraloc_info(p : tabstractprocdef; side: tcallercallee; varargspara:tvarargsparalist):longint;virtual;abstract;
get_funcretloc
Returns the location of the function result if p had def as function result instead of its actual result. Used if the compiler forces the function result to something different than the real result.
function get_funcretloc(p : tabstractprocdef; side: tcallercallee; forcetempdef: tdef): tcgpara;virtual;abstract;
