Aucbvax.4614 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Thu Oct 22 21:25:32 1981 C Language Calling Sequence >From CSVAX.dmr@Berkeley Thu Oct 22 20:50:14 1981 This paper has been reworked and is just now a Computer Science Technical Report (CSTR). I ran off the reproduction copy a week ago, so probably it is not back from the printer's yet, and I don't know its number, but the title should suffice. Order from

S. J. Connolly Bell Laboratories Room 2C579 Murray Hill NJ 07974

Ms. Connolly has the list of all the CSTRs; a recent example is Kernighan's "Why Pascal is not my favorite programming language."

Incidentally, to dash decvax!jmb's hope, the message of the C paper is that the calling sequence is exquisitely sensitive to details of the machine, the operating system, and the language.
