Hello
Can any one help me in solving the following problem :
If numbe of aguments passed to a funcrion exceeds from
4 the function gives irrtaing behaviour. I mean if fo
example i passed the argumnt 315 to the function the
function converts it to 0 & then to 235, i.e. no
contol on the value.
I have increased the stack size but it does not solve
my problem
Looking for the favourarable reply

Hi,
No.. total number of arguments that u can pass to a function is not 4 for sure..
I had similar kind of problem with my system... the thing is the arguments are
being passed thru regsiters and if all registers are used up then thru
stack...
The reason I see for changing values ( when u pass them to function) is because
after you pass the arguments.. the registers are used by the processor to
perform different tasks so the register no longer represents the variable.. (
wht i mean to say is regsiter is not fixed address of the variable) value of
variable is placed on to stack .. and later on accessed back when needed.. all
this is internally taken care of by compiler .. provided u hav proper stack
allocation .. ..
