I'm doing a term paper on the procedure call, and I'm trying to gather information on how procedure calls are performed in various implementations of various languages. I'd be most grateful if anyone either knows something about specific cases or can point me to literature on such. I would be particularly interested in information about how various versions of C do this, as there are a large number and can form a good database for a comparative study. Most useful would be notes from the companies selling such software or articles from the trade press, and pointers to such. Note that by procedure call I am referring to a C or Lisp style procedure, not a subroutine such as Basic. Please reply to me directly. I am on the list but will be going home for two weeks beginning Friday, and will temporarily remove myself from the list at that time. Thanks in advance for any help. Robert^Z
