Marty,

Are you sure we are talking about the same C compiler. I tam talking
about the one that you can do
	CC /MACHINE /LIST=FOO.LIS FOO.C
and you get a listing.

In that listing, all of the routines that do &stackarg get code
generated after the stack set up for locals and before the execution
to copy the stackarg into a routine local.

Maybe we are arguing over different versions? I have about 10 routines
that do this and they all act this way. I had to right a disgusiting
macro-32 hack to chase up the stack (using the old saved AP) to get the
Nth arguent to get the address.

I must agree with Mr Firth that it should be all or none. Given that
I am not a language wiz but a system wiz...I defer to his belief since
he is one of the Tartan Labs folks...and they are in the compiler
business.
