OpenVMS Calling Standard

Overview The OpenVMS Calling Standard defines the requirements, mechanisms, and conventions that support procedure-to-procedure calls for hp OpenVMS VAX, hp OpenVMS Alpha, and hp OpenVMS Industry Standard 64. The standard defines the run-time data structures, constants, algorithms, conventions, methods, and functional interfaces that enable a native user-mode procedure to operate correctly in a multi-language environment on VAX, Alpha, and Itanium systems. This paper primarily defines requirements for compiler and debugger writers, but the information can apply to procedure calling for all programmers in various levels of programming.
