Calling convention
<programming> The arrangement of arguments for a procedure or function call.
Different programming languages may require arguments to be pushed onto a stack or entered in registers in left-to-right or right-to left order, and either the caller or the callee can be responsible for removing the arguments.
The calling convention also determines if a variable number of arguments is allowed.
