1. r3-r10寄存器存储函数的第一个到第8个参数，同时r3还存储返回值，试验：

                              

2. 函数调用，参数为结构体，如下图所示：

This isn’t work out so cleanly because pointers have to be at an address that is divisible by 4, same with integers. So all primitive types in C and C++ need to be at an address that is divisible by it’s size in bytes. So a bool and a character can be at any address since they are only one byte. Shorts must be at an even address since they are 2 bytes, pointers, integers, and longs (on most computers) need to be at an address divisible by 4 since all those types are 4 bytes in size. Lastly, long longs need to be at an address divisible by 8 since they are eight bytes long. So back to our struct. Let’s say that the address of the first field is 0x7004fd20. The first field is a bool, so it only takes up one byte. The next byte in memory that can be written over is 0x7004fd21, and we need to put a char pointer there. Well we can’t because the address 0x7004fd21 isn’t divisible by 4, the size of a character pointer. So what it does, is skip over 3 bytes, so it goes to the next address that is divisible by 4,which would be 0x7004fd24. Then when it needs to put down the next character pointer, the last name pointer, it has no problem because 0x7004fd28 is divisible by 4. Following the last name char* is a single character, which screws things up. It puts that character down at the address 0x7004fd2C, making the next available address 0x7004fd2D, which isn’t divisible by 4. We need to put down an integer, so we need something divisible by 4. Just like before, it’ll skip over 3 bytes so that it can put down the integer at an address divisible by 4. So if we were to create an instance of our struct, it would look like this:

Now let’s just go ahead and write a function that takes a person pointer. This function will return a bool indication whether or not the person can legally buy/consume alcohol in the US. So in other words, if the person’s age is less than 21, then this function will return false, otherwise it’ll return true. So we know from looking at the diagram above that the person’s age is at the address of the struct plus 16 bytes. Creating this function is really simple now that we have this diagram. So the function would look something like this:

This function is really easy to write now that you know how to get to the age in memory. Once we load the age from memory, we compare it to 21. Then we branch to the returnTrue label if the value in r4, the person’s age, is greater than or equal to 21. Otherwise we load r3 with false, and return.
