The author criticizes the traditional C ABI for passing complex types inefficiently and points to the Go register ABI as a better solution. The article delves into calling conventions, with a focus on x86, proposing a new calling convention for Rust functions that prioritizes performance. By introducing the -Zcallconv flag, Rust could generate significantly better […]
