Hello,
the C pushs the arg from right to left onto
the stack when calling a function.
the PASCAL pushs the args from left to right.
I was told that the C calling convention results
in larger as well as slower program.
(due to some cleanup work of the stack after call??)

can someone tell me why ?

Thanks very much,
