{excerpt}
A calling sequence is a contract between two blocks of code, a call site (within a caller) and and entry point (within a callee). The contract governs the transfer of control to the caller, and its eventual return to the caller (or a successor version of the caller). The contract is specific to some function type agreed on between the caller and callee. The type may require data values to be passed between the caller and callee, using certain registers or other variable locations.
