The Alpha Architecture Reference Manual is some help, but there is also a calling standard referened in /sys/alpha/include/asm.h, and that header is helpful to read as well.

I have some, but there are others on that list who have much more. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
