    Hi folks,

     I've recently discovered that if I ask my NC30 compiler to optimize
     my C code, it passes function parameters through the registers and not
     through the stack. The question is:

     What happens if I call a function that belongs to a library which
     was compiled using optimizing options (parameters passed through
     the registers), from a function that was compiled without optimizing
     options (parameters passed through the stack)?

    thanks,
     Enrico
