+ # Assembly Language
+
+ This page describes how gcc passes arguments, which is required when accessing those arguments from inside a piece of assembly.
+
+ Here's an example of how gcc compiled a function
+ ```
+ 00c06950 <zobbo>:
+
+ int __attribute__ ((noinline)) zobbo(uint8_t drive_num, uint32_t block_num, uint8_t *buffer) {
+ drive_num++;
+
+ if (drive_num == 42) {
+ c06950: 0c2f 0029 0007 cmpib #41,%sp@(7)
+ c06956: 671e beqs c06976 <zobbo+0x26>
+ return NOT_OK;
+ }
+
+ block_num--;
+
+ if (block_num == 99) {
+ c06958: 7064 moveq #100,%d0
+ c0695a: b0af 0008 cmpl %sp@(8),%d0
+ c0695e: 670e beqs c0696e <zobbo+0x1e>
+ errno = 99;
+ return NOT_OK;
+ }
+
+ if (*buffer == '!') {
+ c06960: 206f 000c moveal %sp@(12),%a0
+ c06964: 0c10 0021 cmpib #33,%a0@
+ c06968: 57c0 seq %d0
+ c0696a: 49c0 extbl %d0
+ return NOT_OK;
+ }
+
+ return OK;
+ }
+ c0696c: 4e75 rts
+ errno = 99;
+ c0696e: 7063 moveq #99,%d0
+ c06970: 23c0 0000 1160 movel %d0,1160 <errno>
+ return NOT_OK;
+ c06976: 70ff moveq #-1,%d0
+ }
+ c06978: 4e75 rts
