#181557 - SDCC
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I don't know what Keil does, but SDCC passes bool parameters at fixed addresses just like all other parameters for non-reentrant functions. No change in calling convention here.

For reentrant functions SDCC uses a byte in the bit-addressable area to implement bool pseudo-registers. This byte is pushed/popped on stack around function calls just like other real registers. Each function can thus use 8 bool parameters and local variables. Sometimes more depending on live ranges. The bool parameters are ignored for the calling convention of passing other parameters.

This is what I considered optimal.
