    <p>Do WinCE and Linux use the same calling convention on ARM? What are the differences?</p> <p>The documents I've found so far do not explain very well. For example on <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms864497.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms864497.aspx</a>, it says "Windows CE .NET Compiler" on one line, but "the ARM compiler" on the next line, and "CLARM" at the bottom, and it's not clear whether it is referring to the same compiler or different compilers. Here's what I've found so far...</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms881418.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ARM Calling Sequence Specification</a> (WinCE) - poorly-written documentation</li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/261419/arm-to-c-calling-convention-registers-to-save">ARM to C calling convention</a> (Linux) - informal explanation</li> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calling_convention#ARM" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wikipedia</a> - no OS is specified and it does not say how structures, floating-point or 64-bit numbers are handled, and it does not say where extra arguments are placed in case they do not fit in registers.</li> <li>Update: <a href="http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0042d/IHI0042D_aapcs.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Procedure Call Standard for the ARM Architecture</a> - finally I found a comprehensive document, but it doesn't say which operating systems follow the standard (or what variants or additional constraints those OSs might impose).</li> </ul> <p>The reason I ask is that I'd like to try using LLVM in WinCE to generate some simple code at run-time, but it only officially supports Linux.</p>

    1. CODo you means stdcall vs cdecl? The WinAPI is stdcall. I assume you are trying to port code onto x96? For gcc _cdecl is the default on Linux. I do not know about ARM. look here: http://www.programmersheaven.com/2/Calling-conventions#cdecl

    2. COI believe "stdcall" is a x86 term which does not apply to ARM. Most likely the calling convention would be called "cdecl" within C++ programs, but that doesn't mean it's the same between Windows and Linux.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
