24 // On the Intel 386, the regparm attribute causes the compiler to pass
25 // arguments number one to number if they are of integral type in
26 // registers EAX, EDX, and ECX instead of on the stack. Functions that
27 // take a variable number of arguments will continue to be passed all of
28 // their arguments on the stack.
