By default, C functions pass up to three parameters in registers.
Remaining parameters are passed in fixed memory locations. You may
use the NOREGPARMS directive
to disable passing parameters in registers.
Parameters are passed in fixed memory locations if parameter
passing in registers is disabled or if there are too many parameters
to fit in registers. Functions that pass parameters in registers are
flagged by the Cx51 Compiler with an underscore character ('_')
prefixed to the function name at code generation time.
Functions that pass parameters only in fixed memory locations are
not prefixed with an underscore. Refer to Using the SRC Directive for an example.
