Does it matter? Most platforms won't let you push a char on the stack
anyways (disregarding the fact the standard makes no mention of
"stack").

So from a performance point of view it's moot.

No, but if you are passing an int rather than unsigned char, it
may need to zero-fill the rest of the int before passing it.
