MIPS Calling Sequence Specification (Compact 7)
3/12/2014
The MIPS Calling Sequence Specification for provides direction for the development of compilers and assembly language programs for the MIPS microprocessor.
In addition, the standard enables the development of tools, debuggers, and operating system utilities that perform automated walking of the call stack.
