Abstract
In the previous five chapters, you studied numerous code examples that informally discussed various aspects of the Visual C++ (Windows) and GNU C++ (Linux) run-time calling conventions. In this chapter, the calling conventions are formally explained. The discussions reiterate some earlier elucidations and introduce new requirements not already examined. A solid understanding of these calling conventions is essential since they’re used extensively in subsequent chapters that explain x86-AVX SIMD programming.
